After Midnight

[Verse 1]
You left your jacket on my chair
Still smells like smoke and summer air
Phone lit up at 12:03
Said, "You awake or you asleep?"
I hit you back, "I'm on my way"
Red eyes, late drive, empty lanes
Mirror shows a tired face
Still chasing what I can't replace
[Chorus]
After midnight, I still feel you
Burning holes straight through my chest
Every "never" turned to "will you?"
Every promise was a test
After midnight, all these street signs
Spelling out the things we lost
If I find you in the dark time
Will it be worth what it costs? (yeah)
After midnight
After midnight
[Verse 2]
Your shadow dancing on my wall
Old videos, I watch them all
Pause it right before the fight
Wish we froze there in that light
You said, "Baby, people change"
I heard, "Maybe you're to blame"
Pulled you closer anyway
Kissed the words you didn't say
[Chorus]
After midnight, I still feel you
Burning holes straight through my chest
Every "never" turned to "will you?"
Every promise was a test
After midnight, all these street signs
Spelling out the things we lost
If I find you in the dark time
Will it be worth what it costs? (oh)
After midnight
After midnight
[Bridge]
I keep driving past your exit (hey!)
Like the turn is made of flame
Every mile, a different version
Where we didn’t fade away
If I call you, would you answer
Or just let it ring again?
Are we strangers sharing memories
Or still almost more than friends?
[Chorus]
After midnight, I still feel you
Burning holes straight through my chest
Every "never" turned to "will you?"
Every promise was a test
After midnight, all these street signs
Spelling out the things we lost
If I find you in the dark time
Will it be worth what it costs?
After midnight (after midnight)
After midnight

Verses sit on sparse 808s and tight hats, chorus slams with layered gang vocals, bright supersaws, and a snare that cuts. Second drop adds glitch fills and octave-jumped ad-libs for maximum lift before a stripped, echo-soaked outro., emotional, male vocals
