Empty Streets at Midnight

Verse 1

Phone’s at one percent

I don’t care

Been walking longer than I said I would

Street’s too quiet

Thoughts too loud

Same old corners, same old moods

I pass the place we used to go

I slow down without meaning to

Funny how your name still fits

In every silence I run into

Pre-Chorus

I tell myself I’m fine

But I only say that in the daytime

Chorus

Empty streets at midnight

I don’t know where I’m going

Just needed air, just needed time

Every light feels distant

Every step feels loaded

Empty streets at midnight

And you’re still on my mind

Verse 2

Windows lit, TVs on

Everyone’s awake but me

I wonder if you’re sleeping now

Or thinking ‘bout calling

I practice words I’ll never send

Delete them before they land

I say I’m over everything

But that’s easier to say than plan

Pre-Chorus

I keep moving so I don’t feel stuck

Funny how it still catches up

Chorus

Empty streets at midnight

I don’t know where I’m going

Just needed air, just needed time

Every light feels distant

Every step feels loaded

Empty streets at midnight

And you’re still on my mind

Bridge

Maybe I miss who I was

When I thought this would last

Maybe it’s not you

Just the future we never had

Final Chorus

Empty streets at midnight

Hands cold, head heavy

I swear I’m trying to let this go

If I keep walking

Maybe I’ll be ready

But not tonight

Not on these empty streets

Outro

I’ll head home when the sky turns blue

Another night thinking about you
