[Intro – velvet electric piano, tape hiss] Yeah… Close the door. Let the night stay with us. [Verse 1 – hushed, intimate] Streetlights bleeding through the blinds, Your shadow dancing with mine. Phones face down, world on mute, Just your breath and the truth. Your perfume on my t-shirt sleeve, Slow heartbeat, I barely breathe. No rush, we don’t need to speak, Your eyes say everything to me. [Pre-Chorus – subtle lift, snaps enter] Every second’s moving slow, Like the clock don’t wanna go. If this moment’s all we get, I don’t want it ending yet. [Chorus – smooth, seductive] After midnight, hold me close, Say it soft, say it low. Every touch feels like a vow, We don’t need forever now. After midnight, skin on skin, Let the silence pull us in. If the sun comes way too soon, I’ll still be right here with you. [Post-Chorus – breathy hums] Mm… yeah… Right here… [Verse 2 – warmer, romantic] Your fingers tracing on my chest, Like you’re learning me, no test. Candle flickers, shadows sway, Feels like love in a quiet way. I don’t need the world tonight, Just this room and faded light. If tomorrow’s complicated, Let’s pretend it’s far away. [Pre-Chorus – layered, intimate] Your name slips off my tongue, Slow and sweet like it’s a song. If this feeling’s all we own, I’m okay not letting go. [Chorus – fuller, still restrained] After midnight, hold me close, Say it soft, say it low. Every touch feels like a vow, We don’t need forever now. After midnight, skin on skin, Let the silence pull us in. If the sun comes way too soon, I’ll still be right here with you. [Bridge – stripped, whispery] No promises, no grand lines, Just your lips finding mine. If this love is temporary, Tonight it feels legendary. [Final Chorus – intimate resolve] After midnight, stay awhile, Lose ourselves, forget the time. Even when the night is through, I’ll remember me and you. After midnight, slow and deep, This is ours, let’s keep it sweet. If the world wakes up too loud, I’ll still hear you right now. [Outro – tape fade, piano lingering] Yeah… After midnight… Don’t go yet.

After Midnight
