Midnight Between Us

The clock leans over in the dark

Your name still lives in the hush of my room

Rope stones drift where the streetlights start

And I'm still reaching for you soon

Every silence feels like your skin

Every shadow knows where we've been

I let the night pull me back into the places we don't speak between

And my mind a little longer

Don't let this distance pull us under

I keep him in me, soft and near

Like a heartbeat, I can almost hear

Stay in my mind when the moon is low

In this tender dark, don't let me go

Fingers snap, scattered like forming rain

But they can't cover this ache in me

I trace the outline of your last goodbye

In the glow of the window's memory

Every silence feels like your skin

Every shadow knows where we've been

To let the night pull me back into the place

'Tis we don't speak between the stage

In my mind a little longer

Don't let this distance pull us under

I keep your memory soft and near

Like the heartbeat I can almost hear

Stay in my mind when the moon is low

Endless tinder dark, don't let me go

If you come back, come back slowly

Let the quiet be enough to hold me

I'm still here where the night made me

A little softer, a little lonely

Stay in my mind a little longer

Don't let this distance pull us under

God, keep your memories soft and near

Like a heartbeat, I can almost hear

Stay in my mind when the moon is low

In this tender dark, don't let me go
