[Intro]
Midnight—
Mm
[Verse 1]
Your phone light paints you sea-glass
I watch your jaw set, then soften
We’re doing that thing where we’re “fine”
But the silence is obviously talking
I rehearse a sentence, delete it
You breathe like you’re counting to ten
I hate how close we can be
And still not get in
[Pre-Chorus] (whisper)
Come closer, don’t solve me
Just stay until I settle
[Chorus]
Meet me at midnight
When the noise finally leaves
When my thoughts stop performing
And I can actually breathe
Meet me at midnight
No speeches, no “who’s right”
Just your hand on my heartbeat
Like a dimmer switch on the fight
You always pull me back to myself
Meet me at midnight
[Post-Chorus] (floaty, repeatable)
Midnight…
Meet me at midnight…
Midnight…
[Verse 2]
We don’t need bright lights judging us
We don’t need daytime vocabulary
Love sounds better in low volume
When it’s private, when it’s honest
Let the city blur into nothing
Let the car become a little world
Where we can be soft without explaining
Where I don’t have to be brave first
[Pre-Chorus] (whisper)
If I shake, don’t ask why
Just hold me like it’s normal
[Chorus]
Meet me at midnight
When the noise finally leaves
When my thoughts stop performing
And I can actually breathe
Meet me at midnight
No speeches, no “who’s right”
Just your hand on my heartbeat
Like a dimmer switch on the fight
You always pull me back to myself
Meet me at midnight
[Bridge] (hush → lift)
I get sharp when I’m scared
You get quiet when you’re tired
So we miss each other by inches
Then pretend we didn’t
I don’t want to win anything
I want to feel safe again
Say “I’m here” like it’s simple
And I’ll stop bracing
[Final Chorus] (bigger, still airy)
Meet me at midnight
When the noise finally leaves
When my thoughts stop performing
And I can actually breathe
Meet me at midnight
No fixing, no rewrite
Just your mouth on my forehead
And the room turning back into light
You always pull me back to myself
Meet me at midnight
[Outro]
Midnight…
Right there…
Midnight…
