[Intro] Yeah... Why you calling? Uh [Verse 1] It's after midnight, your name on my screen I know I shouldn't answer, but I know what it means You don't call when you're happy, you call when you're lonely And somehow every time, you still know how to control me I was doing alright, I was keeping it clean No looking at your pictures, no replaying our scenes Then your "Hey, you awake?" hit me right out the blue And all the things I buried started coming back with you Damn Here we go again Same time, same place Different night, same mistake You say you miss me I say I miss you too Then we both go quiet Cause we know what that could do You tell me you're outside I say, "Where?" You say, "Down the street" I look through the window And you're standing underneath [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I should let it ring Maybe I should let you go But every time you say my name I lose control Ooh I lose control [Chorus] After midnight When the city goes quiet That's when you call me That's when you get honest After midnight When nobody's watching You say you love me Then morning makes you cautious Yeah After midnight You know where I'll be If you're gonna break my heart At least come honestly After midnight Ooh After midnight [Verse 2] We sit inside the car with the heater running low Neither one of us is asking where we're supposed to go You got your hands inside your sleeves, looking down at your knees I got a thousand things to say but none of them come easy You say, "I know I hurt you" I say, "I know you did" You say, "Can we start again?" I say, "Maybe as friends" Then you look at me And I already know We're not gonna be friends We're too far gone for that road Yeah Your perfume in the cabin Your voice in the dark I hate how one small moment Can reopen every scar I spent months getting over you You spent one night coming back Funny how the heart remembers Everything the mind forgets [Bridge] Don't say forever Don't make promises Don't say you changed If you don't mean it Just stay tonight And tell me the truth Was I ever really Easy to lose? Mm... [Chorus] After midnight When the city goes quiet That's when you call me That's when you get honest After midnight When nobody's watching You say you love me Then morning makes you cautious After midnight You know where I'll be If you're gonna break my heart At least come honestly Yeah... After midnight [Verse 3] 4 AM and the sky starting turning gray You fix your hair in the mirror like you're trying to hide the day I don't ask you to stay You don't ask me to follow We both know this moment Is already borrowed You open up the door Then turn around and smile Say, "Maybe I'll call you" Like you always do that line I watch you disappear Down the empty street Then I sit there with the silence And the echo of your seat Uh... Same story Different night Same feelings Different fight Maybe love ain't always meant To stay forever Maybe some people come into your life Just to change you forever [Final Chorus] After midnight When the city goes quiet That's when you call me That's when you get honest After midnight When nobody's watching You say you love me Then morning makes you cautious After midnight Maybe this is goodbye Maybe next time you call I won't pick up this time Ooh... Maybe I won't Maybe I will Yeah After midnight...
