Midnight on My Hoodie

Scuffed up kicks on the pavement

Left my name on the bus stop glass

Phone on mute in my pocket

World still moving too fast

Plastic bag swinging with dinner

Loose change heavy in my jeans

Smoke from a cart in the alley

Drifts up, painting my dreams

Midnight on my hoodie

City on my mind again

Heartbeats in the stairwell

Echo like my only friend (yeah)

I’ve been tryna rise above it

Still I’m walking through the rain

Midnight on my hoodie

Washing all this dirt and pain

Stale fries, cold on the counter

Rent due stuck in my throat

Mama left three missed calls

Said she praying I stay afloat

Blue light burns through the curtains

Neighbors arguing next door

I stack plans in a notebook

Fold it, slide it in the drawer

Midnight on my hoodie

City on my mind again

Heartbeats in the stairwell

Echo like my only friend (oh)

I’ve been tryna rise above it

Still I’m walking through the rain

Midnight on my hoodie

Washing all this dirt and pain

If I jump this fence, who am I then?

Same old scars, just different ends

If I miss that train, do I remain

Another ghost stuck in this frame? (yeah)

Midnight on my hoodie

City on my mind again

Heartbeats in the stairwell

Echo like my only friend

I’ve been tryna rise above it

Still I’m walking through the rain

Midnight on my hoodie

’Til the sun rewrites my name
