Midnight Between Us

The room is blue with the light from the street;

Your shadow lingers where the pillows meet;

I hear the silence in the walls we made;

And every little word we never say;

I let the night lean in so close;

Pretending I don't miss you most;

Tell me why it still feels like you're here;

In the static, in the smoke, in the air;

I reach for you, but you're nowhere near;

Still your ghost says my name when the night goes clear;

Tell me why it still feels like you're here;

My phone fades down, but

I know it won't ring;

Still I wait for the hurt that hope can bring;

The kettle hums like a low soft ache;

And my heart keeps time with every break;

I let the moonlight fall and glow;

On all the places we won't go;

Tell me why it still feels like;

In the static, you smoke in the air;

I reach for you, but you're nowhere near;

Still your ghost says my name when the night goes clear;

Tell me why it still feels like you're here;

If love was a room it's empty now;

But I still hear your footsteps somehow;

I keep a lamp on just in case;

You come back looking for my face;

And I let you in;

No need to explain;

Even if you only leave again;

Now we wanna still feel like you're here;

In the static, in the smoke, in the air;

I reach for you, but you're nowhere near;

Still your call says my name when the night goes clear;

Tell me why it still feels like you're here;

When the vinyl turns and the morning wakes;

I'll still be caught in the aftertaste;

Of you, of us, the midnight between us;

Of you, of us, a midnight between us;
