I Talk to You at Night

**(Hook)** I talk to you at night when the whole world goes quiet, Heart heavy, thoughts racing, and I can't fucking fight it, Tell you all about my day like you're somewhere beside me, Then the silence hits different when there's nobody replying. I talk to you at night, yeah, I talk to you alone, Tell you about the shit I'm going through while I'm staring at my phone, I know I can't hear your voice, but somehow talking helps me cope, 'Cause when everything gets dark, you're the closest thing to home. **(Verse 1)** Midnight, dim lights, sitting with the blinds closed, Mind full, eyes burning, replaying old episodes, I speak low, like you're listening from somewhere in the shadows, Tell you all the shit I never got to say before the bad news. Tell you how the family changed, tell you how I'm doing, Tell you how I still get angry and don't know what I'm supposed to do with it, Tell you about the music, all the records I've been building, Tell you every little victory that somehow still feels different. I tell you when I'm struggling, when I'm losing my direction, When I'm questioning my choices and obsessing over seconds, When I wish I could rewind it, when the guilt becomes excessive, When I wonder if you know that I still carry your reflection. Sometimes I laugh remembering stupid shit we used to laugh at, Then I catch myself smiling and immediately feel the backlash, 'Cause the happiness reminds me that the person isn't coming back, So I sit there with the memories and try to make the good last. **(Hook)** I talk to you at night when the whole world goes quiet, Heart heavy, thoughts racing, and I can't fucking fight it, Tell you all about my day like you're somewhere beside me, Then the silence hits different when there's nobody replying. I talk to you at night, yeah, I talk to you alone, Tell you about the shit I'm going through while I'm staring at my phone, I know I can't hear your voice, but somehow talking helps me cope, 'Cause when everything gets dark, you're the closest thing to home. **(Verse 2)** I tell you about the people that are still around me, Tell you who came through and who disappeared around me, Tell you about the moments where I almost let the doubt win, Then I swear I hear you telling me, "Get up, you ain't allowed to quit." I tell you that I miss you, probably more than words could cover, Tell you every empty space still reminds me of my brother, Tell you I would trade the world for one more conversation, Then I sit inside the silence trying to practice acceptance. Maybe grief is just love with nowhere left to travel, So I give it to the music while my heart is trying to unravel, Every midnight conversation is another thread I keep intact, A way to feel like you're beside me even though I know you're not. And I don't know if you're listening, I don't know where you are, But I talk to you beneath the moon and stare into the dark, If somehow my words can reach you, let this be the message through: I didn't get enough time, but I'll spend the rest remembering you. **(Bridge)** So goodnight, brother, I'll talk to you tomorrow, I'll tell you all my problems, I'll tell you all my sorrow. And if I start to break down, I'll remember what you'd say, "Keep going, keep your head up, You gotta make another day." **(Final Hook)** I talk to you at night when the whole world goes quiet, Heart heavy, thoughts racing, and I can't fucking fight it, Tell you all about my day like you're somewhere beside me, Then the silence hits different when there's nobody replying. I talk to you at night, yeah, I talk to you alone, Tell you about the shit I'm going through while I'm staring at my phone, I know I can't hear your voice, but somehow talking helps me cope, 'Cause when everything gets dark, you're the closest thing to home. I talk to you at night, Even though you're out of sight, Until the day I see you again, I'll keep you close every night.
