Phone light on your name
Half past two
I’m wide awake
Your sweater on my chair
Still smells like your perfume in the dark air
I keep replaying how we fell apart
Every word like a fingerprint on my heart
I shouldn’t call
But I need you still
I need you still
These after midnight calls
Got me reaching for your voice again (again)
Saying things I never say at all
When the day is watching
Love is silent then
But in these after midnight calls
You’re the only one that feels this real
So tell me
Do you miss me at all
Or am I talking to the echo of what we used to feel (oh, what we used to feel)
Street glow through the blinds
Paints your picture in my mind
You laugh through the receiver
I hear the hurt hiding under that silver
You say you’re better but your breath goes shy
Right before you whisper
“Did we even try?”
I close my eyes
Let the silence fill
The space we killed
These after midnight calls
Got me reaching for your voice again (your voice again)
Saying things I never say at all
When the sun is up
We act like friends
But in these after midnight calls
You’re the only one that feels this real
So tell me
Do you miss me at all
Or am I talking to the echo of what we used to feel (used to feel)
Mmm
I hear you breathing on the line (on the line)
Both of us scared to say goodbye (goodbye)
“If you say ‘come over
’ I’ll come tonight”
You whisper
“Baby… I’m outside”
These after midnight calls
Turn to you standing at my door again (my door again)
Saying things we never say at all
In the harsh light
We pretend
But in these after midnight calls
You’re the only one that feels this real
So hold me like you’ll never let me fall
And answer every echo with the way you feel (the way you feel)
After midnight
It’s only us
It’s only us (oh yeah)
After midnight
Say you still believe in us
