Night Shift Circuit

Late bus home

Face lit blue from a cracked phone screen

You said, "Call when you get in"

I thumb your name, then let it ring in my head

Street hum, my heart jumps

Every stop feels like it might be ours

Your laugh stuck in my jacket

Like your old ticket stubs

Are you up, are you up right now

'Cause I'm halfway home and coming down

If you're still awake, say it out loud

Are you up, are you up right now

Same three songs

On repeat just to hear your part

You sing the wrong words

But you own them like you wrote them in the dark

Red eyes, late rides

Replay every almost that we had

If you still keep my sweater

Do you still keep the plans

If I show up at your door

With my headphones on, shoes in my hand

Would you buzz me up the stairs

Or let it ring, let it ring again
