Late Night Lover Blues

[Verse 1]
Half-full glass on the nightstand
Your lipstick stain on the rim
Clock says three in the morning
But I’m still stuck on you again
[Chorus]
Got those late night lover blues
When the dark starts talkin’ truth
Every shadow spells your name
In this empty
Tangled room
Yeah
These late night lover blues
Keep me reachin’ out for you
Phone in my hand
Pride on the floor
I can’t close that open door
[Verse 2]
Street sounds hum through the window
Old movie plays
No sound
I wear your shirt like a memory
It’s the deepest thing I’ve found
[Chorus]
Got those late night lover blues
When the dark starts talkin’ truth
Every shadow spells your name
In this empty
Tangled room
Yeah
These late night lover blues
Keep me reachin’ out for you
Phone in my hand
Pride on the floor
I can’t close that open door
[Bridge]
If I call
Will you answer?
If I beg
Will you stay?
Or am I just your after-hours
Habit you can throw away
[Chorus]
Got those late night lover blues
When the dark starts talkin’ truth
Every shadow spells your name
In this empty
Tangled room
Yeah
These late night lover blues
Got me prayin’ for a truce
Between my heart and what you choose
I’m a fool for
Late night lover blues

Slow-rolling midnight blues band, brushed snare, round double bass, smoky electric piano, and reverb-soaked lead guitar fills. Male vocals laid right up front, intimate and raspy. Verses stay close and conversational; chorus swells with stacked harmonies and organ pad. Subtle dynamic lift on each hook, last chorus trails into a soft, lingering outro vamp., blues
