Where the Night Feels Like Us

You show up in the half-light

like a secret in the air

and the shimmer from the guitars

makes it feel like you’re still there

I’m talking to the silence

trying not to fall apart

but the melody keeps pulling

every truth out of my heart

’Cause when the night feels like us

I can’t keep these feelings tucked

all the floating little moments

hit me softer than I trust

If you hear me in the distance

know I’m trying to adjust

to the way the night remembers

everything about us

Your breath is in the rhythm

like a ghost beneath the beat

and the harmonies around me

sound like footsteps on the street

I rap the lines I’m missing

then I sing the ones that sting

and the shimmer in the chorus

wraps the pain in something clean

’Cause when the night feels like us

I can’t keep these feelings tucked

all the floating little moments

hit me softer than I trust

If you hear me in the distance

know I’m trying to adjust

to the way the night remembers

everything about us

I hear your voice in echoes

in the chords I try to hide

like a wish I never finished

or a wave I never ride

And I swear the sky grows brighter

when I say your name out loud

but it fades before I catch it

like a face lost in a crowd

’Cause when the night feels like us

I can’t keep these feelings tucked

all the floating little moments

hit me softer than I trust

If you hear me in the distance

know I’m trying to adjust

to the way the night remembers

everything about us

Let the harmonies keep drifting

let the city breathe its glow

every shimmer in the texture

telling me what I should know

’Cause when the night feels like us

I don’t fight it—I just trust

if tomorrow finds me stronger

I’ll still love what’s luminous

And if all the dreams you left here

start to rise back into dust

I’ll still sing them through the nighttime—

where the night feels like us.
