+ Show full styles

[Intro] Yeah… Past midnight. No cameras. No crowd. Just us. [Verse 1] Two in the morning, city looking different Phone on silent, I don’t need no distractions You sitting across from me, moonlight on your face Got me thinking this might be my favorite place No makeup, no filter, hair tied back Still looking better than anything I could’ve asked I ain’t impressed by the image, I’m impressed by the woman The way you make me feel like I ain’t gotta keep running We can talk about the things we don’t tell everybody You tell me what you fear, I tell you what’s inside me No pretending, no pressure, no need to perform Just two people finding somewhere safe from the storm I know the night got a way of making things honest Maybe it’s the quiet, maybe it’s being beside you But every time you look at me, I lose my train of thought And suddenly the clock ain’t something I care about. [Hook] After hours, when the world goes quiet That’s when I want you beside me No lights, no crowd, no need to hide it Just your body close and your soul beside it After hours, we can take our time No rush, no rules, just you and I If tomorrow comes, let tomorrow wait Tonight I’m right here, and I don’t wanna leave this place. [Verse 2] Your perfume on my shirt, your laugh in the hallway You tell me “don’t get used to this,” I say “too late” I ain’t talking about possession, I’m talking about connection Something about your presence got my full attention We could order room service, never leave the room Play our favorite records, let the bass fill the room You put your feet on the table, I smile at the view Funny how the simplest moments feel expensive with you And if we get intimate, let it mean more than physical I want the conversation after, when the night gets critical Tell me what you want, tell me what you need I don’t want to rush a moment that could actually mean something We both got history, we both got scars Maybe that’s exactly why we recognize each other’s heart So stay until the sunrise starts painting the sky Let me see who you are when the night says goodbye. [Bridge] Don’t turn the lights on yet Let the darkness stay I like you right here With nothing in the way No yesterday No tomorrow Just tonight Just us. [Hook] After hours, when the world goes quiet That’s when I want you beside me No lights, no crowd, no need to hide it Just your body close and your soul beside it After hours, we can take our time No rush, no rules, just you and I If tomorrow comes, let tomorrow wait Tonight I’m right here, and I don’t wanna leave this place. [Outro] 4:17 AM… Still awake. Still talking. Still wondering how somebody can make the night feel this short. A Million Made.
