Midnight Side of the City

[Verse 1]
Male:
Quarter tank
But we still rollin'
Dashboard glow on your gold ring
You say
"Drive slow
I’m in my feelings"
I cut the lights
Let the moon sing
Female:
Lip gloss stain on your coffee lid
You laugh soft
Say I talk my shit
Your hand parked on my bare knee
Red light feels like a movie
[Chorus]
Both:
On the midnight side of the city
Where the silence talkin' pretty
You and me
No destination
Just a backseat conversation
Male:
You lean in
Say "Don’t rush this"
Female:
I lean in
Steal one more kiss
Both:
On the midnight side of the city
I just wanna ride your energy (oh)
[Verse 2]
Female:
You hum low to the street signs passin'
Faded cap
But your eyes stay laughin'
We trade past scars like they old vinyl
Skip a track
Let the good part find us
Male:
You flick ash out the cracked window
Tell me secrets that you don't show
To anybody in the daylight
Said you hate love
But you feel right
[Chorus]
Both:
On the midnight side of the city
Where the silence talkin' pretty
You and me
No destination
Just a backseat conversation
Female:
You lean in
Say "Don’t lose this"
Male:
I lean in
Seal it with a kiss (yeah)
Both:
On the midnight side of the city
I just wanna ride your energy (ride your energy)
[Bridge]
Male:
If the sun comes up
We can lie
Say we friends
But you’re drawin' constellations on my arm again
Female:
You say you don’t chase
But you circle my name
On the fogged-up glass like you tryna explain
Both:
So let the road run out
Let the night run deep
If this just a drive
Let me never leave
[Chorus]
Both:
On the midnight side of the city
Where the silence talkin' pretty
You and me
No destination
Just a backseat conversation
Female:
You lean in
Say "Stay right here"
Male:
I lean in
Breathe you in my ear (mmm)
Both:
On the midnight side of the city
I just wanna ride your energy
On the midnight side of the city
Pull me closer
Set the tempo free (hey)

Neo-soul / alt-R&B duet, male + female vocals. Lazy swung drums, syrupy bass, warm electric piano voicings with jazzy extensions, glassy pads, and gentle guitar flicks. Verses stay intimate and close-mic; choruses bloom with wide harmonies and a sticky, sing-along topline. Call-and-response ad-libs between the two vocalists; bridge strips to Rhodes and bass before the last, bigger chorus., contemporary, bassline, groovy, soulful, r&b, soul, jazzy
