Mixtape at Midnight

Neon on the pavement

Midnight in my hands

Old streetlights are flickering

Like they still understand

I found your hand written out

Ducked in my cup

Fold it into a memory

I never outgrew, I know

Every mile back then

Fell bigger than the sky

Now I hear that melody

And I'm back inside

Hit rewind

Down the night with the city glow

All those little heartbeats that we used to know

Favorite song on repeat, flowing soft and low

Growing up was just the sound of us letting go

Hit rewind, wonder night

Keep it close, keep it slow

I still hear your name in the places we go

Polaroids on the dashboard

Edges running bright

Premonices in pencil from a half-forgotten night

I can taste the summer in the static of the radio

Every chorus pulls me back to who I was before I know

Every scar

And sparkle every wrong and right

All the little versions of me still sing tonight

It rewinds on the night

Let the city glow

All those little heartbeats that we used to know

Faded song on recall

Playing soft and low

Crawling up was just the sound of us letting go

It rewinds

The night

Keep it close

Keep it slow

I still hear your name in places we go

If I could lease one night on an anchor behind

It would be the sound of youth and the way we try

Not to lose the magic and the ordinary lines

Just a song

Just to know, just a spark in time

Hit rewind on the night

Wet the city glow

All those little heartbeats that we used to know

Favorite song on repeat

Playing soft and low

Growing up was just the sound of us letting go

Hit rewind on the night, keep it close

Keep it slow

I still hear your name in the places we go

I still hear your name in places we go
