Midnight On Your Side

[Verse 1]
Dash glow on your cheek
One hand on the wheel
One on your knee
City floating past in streaks
But it feels like we’re barely moving at all
[Chorus]
It’s just you and this midnight on your side
Windows cracked
Let the cool air slide
Say my name like you got all night
Slow and low
Let your heart confide
Baby
I’m your midnight on your side
[Verse 2]
Laugh lines in your rearview smile
You tell me secrets you ain’t said in a while
Red light
You lean in slow
Suddenly the whole world’s tinted in gold
[Chorus]
It’s just you and this midnight on your side
Windows cracked
Let the cool air slide
Say my name like you got all night
Slow and low
Let your heart confide
Baby
I’m your midnight on your side
[Bridge]
Tell me
Do you ever feel this safe? (yeah)
Like every wrong turn led to this place
If the sun never came
I’d be fine
Circling these streets
Just tracing your outline
[Chorus]
It’s just you and this midnight on your side
Windows cracked
Let the cool air slide
Say my name like you got all night
Slow and low
Let your heart confide
Baby
I’m your midnight on your side (on your side)

Silky neo-soul groove with warm Rhodes, lazy jazz guitar, and a round, melodic bassline; brushed drums and soft percussion keep it swaying. Male vocals in a smooth, intimate register, close-mic’d. Verses stay hushed and conversational; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and subtle call-and-response ad-libs. Light reverb for a late-night car stereo feel, gentle rise into the bridge then a soft glide-out., contemporary, jazzy, soul, soulful, groovy, romantic, r&b, bassline
