[Intro]
(Breathy vocal layers)
After midnight…
You always find me…
Yeah…
[Verse 1]
City lights blur through the rain on the glass,
Every red light makes the memories last.
Your perfume still clings to the sleeve of my coat,
Even silence knows your name when I choke.
Blacked-out windows, ghosts in the rearview,
Every road I take somehow leads back to you.
I traded daylight for another sleepless drive,
Searching for a heartbeat that was never really mine.
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why the night still wears your face…
Why every shadow whispers your name…
I disappear before the morning comes,
‘Cause darkness knows what I’ve become.
[Chorus]
After midnight, I’m still chasing your ghost,
Losing myself where I needed you most.
Neon reflections drown under the rain,
I wear this mask but I still feel the pain.
After midnight, the city’s alive,
While I’m counting every reason we died.
If love was forever, then why am I alone…
After midnight… calling a phone that won’t come home.
[Verse 2]
Chrome on the chain, black heart underneath,
Built my empire with the scars that you left on me.
Everybody sees the lights, nobody knows the cost,
How many pieces of myself I had to lose to get lost.
Every headline fades when the room goes quiet,
Money can’t drown out a war inside it.
So I keep moving while the moon stays awake,
Running from a version of me I can’t escape.
[Bridge]
If heaven closed its doors tonight…
Would you still find me in the dark?
Would you recognize my voice…
Without the scars… without the mask?
(Atmospheric pause)
Or was I only someone…
You could love in the moonlight?
[Final Chorus]
After midnight, I’m still chasing your ghost,
Burning every bridge that brought me close.
Streetlights shimmer like tears in the rain,
Every heartbeat echoes your name.
After midnight, I’m learning to breathe,
Even if the night never lets me leave.
The sun can rise, but I won’t be the same…
I’m still dancing with your shadow in the rain.
[Outro]
(Whispered)
After midnight…
The world falls asleep…
That’s when the truth starts singing.
And you’ll find me…
Waiting in the dark.
VAYNE
