Midnight On My Screen

[Verse 1]

You called from some new city

Different daylight in your voice

You laughed like you were steady

But every pause gave me a choice

Do I ask what you’re not saying

Or just talk about the rain

I trace circles on the table

Pretend I don’t feel you fade

[Pre-Chorus]

All these little blue excuses

They collect like ash and steam

I’m awake but I keep losing

Every frame of what we’ve been

[Chorus]

Midnight on my screen

You’re a heartbeat out of reach

Frozen in that green

Little circle next to “seen”

I keep typing, keep erasing

Every truth I wanna speak

If I send it, will you read it

Or just let it fall asleep

Midnight on my screen

[Verse 2]

Your suitcase in the background

Half-zipped life behind your chair

You say “it’s just for now, love”

But your eyes are halfway there

I can smell the airport coffee

Through the static in the line

You say “baby I’ll be honest”

And I brace between the signs

[Pre-Chorus]

Are we drifting out of rhythm

Or about to find the key

I’m suspended in the moment

Where your silence answers me

[Chorus]

Midnight on my screen

You’re a heartbeat out of reach

Frozen in that green

Little circle next to “seen”

I keep typing, keep erasing

Every truth I wanna speak

If I send it, will you read it

Or just let it fall asleep

Midnight on my screen

[Bridge]

Say you’re scared of what we’re missing (oh)

I’m scared of what we’ll lose

If you chase another skyline

Will you still come back to you

All these time zones in between us

Can’t explain the way it feels

How your face can be so vivid

But your touch feels less than real

[Chorus]

Midnight on my screen

You’re a heartbeat out of reach

Frozen in that green

Little circle next to “seen”

I keep typing, keep erasing

Every truth I wanna speak

If I send it, will you read it

Or just let it fall asleep

Midnight on my screen

Midnight on my screen (oh)

Where you used to be
