Midnight Slow Burn

Late night, hair tied, hoodie

Lip tint on your coffee cup

You laugh, then hide your smile

Like you know what that does to us

Long text, then you say “maybe”

Then “I’m busy”, then “come through”

You draw a heart

Then erase it

I still read it as “me and you” (mm)

You’re my midnight slow burn

Soft glow on my screen when the world turns

I don’t rush it, I just let it hurt

If it’s you, then I want it

Yeah, I want this midnight slow burn

Every “maybe” pulling me closer

If it’s wrong, I don’t wanna learn

Let it stay, let it stay

Our midnight slow burn

Walk home, same road, raining

One umbrella, shoulders touch

You talk like it’s nothing

But your fingers never move that much (hey)

Friends say you’re too careful

Say I fall too fast, too soon

But your name on my phone

Feels safer than an empty room

You’re my midnight slow burn

Soft glow on my screen when the world turns

I don’t rush it, I just let it hurt

If it’s you, then I want it

Yeah, I want this midnight slow burn

Every “maybe” pulling me closer

If it’s wrong, I don’t wanna learn

Let it stay, let it stay

Our midnight slow burn

Heart beat in a half-time pattern

Breath sync when our steps get tangled

If this is just a phase, don’t tell me

Let me live in the almost, almost

You’re my midnight slow burn

Soft glow on my screen when the world turns

I don’t rush it, I just let it hurt

If it’s you, then I want it

Yeah, I want this midnight slow burn

Every “maybe” pulling me closer

If it’s wrong, I don’t wanna learn

Let it stay, let it stay

Our midnight slow burn
