[Intro – airy, spoken]
Mm… yeah…
It’s always midnight when you find me…
Guess that’s the only time you feel me.
⸻
[Hook]
Why you always call me after midnight?
Touchin’ on my spirit when it don’t feel right
Caught up in your orbit, can’t escape your tide
Say you love me, but it’s only for the night
You don’t show up when the sun is on the rise
Only reachin’ for me when the moon aligns
Caught up in your orbit, can’t escape your tide
Say you love me, but it’s only for the night
⸻
[Verse 1]
You move like a season, changin’ with the breeze
One day you adore me, next day you just leave
I keep writing letters that I’ll never send
Chasing empty echoes that don’t make amends
You don’t need my heart, you just crave my skin
I draw out the lines, then you pull me in
Every word a riddle, never know your truth
Is it love, or just a habit when the night finds you?
⸻
[Pre-Hook]
And I know, I know, I know better
But your voice still feels like home
And I’m tired, tired of forever
Still I answer every call on my phone
⸻
[Hook]
Why you always call me after midnight?
Touchin’ on my spirit when it don’t feel right
Caught up in your orbit, can’t escape your tide
Say you love me, but it’s only for the night
⸻
[Verse 2]
Your love feel like velvet with a razor’s edge
Soft when you hold me, but you cut again
Said you’d never hurt me, but the wounds don’t mend
And the cycle keeps on spinning, it’s the same pretend
I drown in the silence of the things unsaid
Living in the past, stuck inside my head
Every time I swear I’m gone, you reel me back
You a storm I can’t contain, but I still run back
⸻
[Bridge – ethereal]
If I leave, will you chase me?
If I stay, will you break me?
Every truth you don’t say
Is another lie that shapes me
⸻
[Breakdown – whispered]
Midnight, midnight, midnight calls…
Never love me in the daylight at all…
You only need me when your shadows fall
And I’m too weak to ignore it all
⸻
[Final Hook]
Why you always call me after midnight?
Touchin’ on my spirit when it don’t feel right
Caught up in your orbit, can’t escape your tide
Say you love me, but it’s only for the night
Why you never hold me when the sun shines?
Only wanna claim me when the stars align
Caught up in your orbit, can’t escape your tide
Say you love me, but it’s only for the night
[Outro – fading]
It’s always midnight when you need me…
And by sunrise, you leave me.
