[Verse 1]
City lights are flickering, I’m walking all alone
Headphones on, the world’s a hum, your voice inside my phone (mmm)
Shadows dancing on the pavement, like they know my secrets too
Every step I take reminds me, I’m still thinking of you (ahh)
[Pre-Chorus – falsetto]
Ooh, my mind keeps drifting (drifting… yeah)
To the night we couldn’t finish (finish… ohh)
[Chorus – catchy, melodic]
Midnight daydreams, taking me where I want to go (go, go)
Running through your memory, in the city’s neon glow
Ooh, I can’t escape it, even if I tried
Midnight daydreams, you’re still here inside my mind (ahh)
(Ad-libs: “Yeah-yeah!” / “Take me there!” / falsetto “Oooh-ohh!”)
[Verse 2]
Street corners whisper stories of a time we almost knew
Laughing under streetlamps, sharing secrets no one else could view
Every little detail pulls me back like a gentle tide
I can’t help but wander through the thoughts I try to hide
[Pre-Chorus – falsetto harmonies]
Ooh, my heart keeps drifting (drifting… ahh)
To the night we couldn’t finish (finish… yeah)
[Chorus – repeat, extra falsetto]
Midnight daydreams, taking me where I want to go (go, go)
Running through your memory, in the city’s neon glow
Ooh, I can’t escape it, even if I tried
Midnight daydreams, you’re still here inside my mind (ahh)
(Ad-libs: “Oooh-yeah!” / falsetto “Ahh-ohh-ohh!”)
[Bridge – soft, airy falsetto]
(Falsetto)
Every light that flickers reminds me of your smile
Every heartbeat echoes, pulling me a thousand miles
And if the night won’t let me go, I’ll stay lost in your glow
(Breathe/falsetto) Oooh… midnight daydreams… don’t let me go…
[Final Chorus – melodic lift + ad-libs]
Midnight daydreams, taking me where I want to go (yeah-yeah)
Running through your memory, in the city’s neon glow
Ooh, I can’t escape it, even if I tried
Midnight daydreams, you’re still here inside my mind (ahh)
(Ad-libs: “Ahh-ohh!” / “Take me there!” / falsetto runs “Oooh-ohh-ohh-ohh!”)
