[Intro]
[low vocal hum, distant sax riff]
Late train rumble
Wet paint on the curb
Heart like a hustle
Mind full of words
[Verse 1]
Scuffed-up Jordans
Cut through steam
Rain in the crosswalk
Ghosts on the screen
You say you’re tired
Of start-and-stop
But you still pull up
Right on my block (yeah)
[Chorus]
Midnight crosswalk, you and me
Hit my chest like taxi beams
We don’t talk, we just breathe
Let the city say what we mean
Midnight crosswalk, eyes both red
Lost all plans, kept pride instead
If we crash, we crash, no net
You’re the one mistake I don’t regret (oh)
[Verse 2]
Plastic cup shaking
Keys in your hand
You joke about leaving
I just laugh and stand
Sirens in rhythm
Right under your laugh
We dance in the puddles
Like we own this path
[Chorus]
Midnight crosswalk, you and me
Hit my chest like taxi beams
We don’t talk, we just breathe
Let the city say what we mean
Midnight crosswalk, eyes both red
Lost all plans, kept pride instead
If we crash, we crash, no net
You’re the one mistake I don’t regret
[Bridge]
[beat drops to halftime, violin solo weaves around a moody sax line]
You spin, I follow
Concrete halo
You grin, I swallow
Everything I know
One step from leaving
Two from home
Three from healing
Still I don’t go (nah)
[Chorus]
Midnight crosswalk, you and me
Hit my chest like taxi beams
We don’t talk, we just breathe
Let the city say what we mean
Midnight crosswalk, eyes both red
Lost all plans, kept pride instead
If we crash, we crash, no net
You’re the one mistake I don’t regret (yeah)
