[Verse 1]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
