Midnight Silhouettes

[Verse 1]

You call me when the world gets quiet

Name pops up

I’m already wired

You say

“I shouldn’t

But I might”

Guess we’re both lying to our pride

[Pre-Chorus]

You laugh like you don’t feel nothing

But your silence hangs

Says something

“Come over” sitting on your tongue

Hard to stay strong

[Chorus]

After midnight speaks

All the things we hide in daylight

Every word you breathe

Hits a place I swore was sealed tight

We keep saying it’s the last time

Last time

Then your heartbeat’s underneath my cheek

And I know what the morning will deny

But I believe what after midnight speaks

[Verse 2]

Sweatshirt on your bedroom chair

Coffee cups and perfume in the air

You trace circles on my chest

Slow

Ask about the girl I let go

[Pre-Chorus]

You say

“I’m fine

Don’t overthink it”

Eyes give up what your voice won’t admit

We’re just friends who never learned the line

We cross every time

[Chorus]

After midnight speaks

All the things we hide in daylight

Every word you breathe

Hits a place I swore was sealed tight

We keep saying it’s the last time

Last time

Then your heartbeat’s underneath my cheek

And I know what the morning will deny

But I believe what after midnight speaks

[Bridge]

Maybe we’re just lonely in the same way

Filling in the blanks of all our almosts

Maybe if the sun could hear the things we say

It would burn this fragile little world we’ve grown so close

[Chorus]

After midnight speaks

All the things we hide in daylight

Every word you breathe

Hits a place I swore was sealed tight

We keep saying it’s the last time

Last time

But your heartbeat’s underneath my cheek

And I know what the morning will deny

Still I believe what after midnight speaks
