Midnight In Slow Motion

Late text

"you up?"

Screen glow on your face in the dark

Half-done makeup

Keys on the dresser

One heel kicked under my couch

You say you"ain’t pressed"

But you keep scrolling back to my house

You say,"Don’t catch feelings"

While you trace my tattoo lines

Every time you swear you’re leaving

You stay and reset my mind

It’s like midnight in slow motion

When you’re laying on my shoulder again

We keep drowning in that ocean

Knowing we won’t ever call it a thing

You say,"Boy, we just vibing"

But your heartbeat’s telling on you

Midnight in slow motion

Acting like we strangers, but you know the truth

Soft laugh

Hands shake

You drink from my glass, wrong name on your phone

Old flame calling

You let it ring out, flip it face-down on the floor

You say it’s"complicated"

I say"yeah, that’s kind of what I’m here for"

You say,"Don’t be stupid"

While you leave your sweater here

Every line sounds like the blueprint

Of a love we both pretend ain’t near

It’s like midnight in slow motion

When you’re laying on my shoulder again

We keep drowning in that ocean

Knowing we won’t ever call it a thing

You say,"Boy, we just vibing"

But your heartbeat’s telling on you

Midnight in slow motion

Acting like we strangers, but you know the truth

You say we bad together

But you’re back together, every time

We cross that line, rewind

Repeat that lie,"we fine"

It’s like midnight in slow motion

When you’re laying on my shoulder again

We keep drowning in that ocean

Knowing we won’t ever call it a thing

You say,"Boy, we just vibing"

But your heartbeat’s telling on you

Midnight in slow motion

Acting like we strangers, but you know the truth
