Midnight on the crosswalk, city lights slipping slow
Breathing in the cold air, thinking where you go
Your shadow on the pavement moves a little close
We don’t say a word — somehow that feels like home
I catch you in the corner of my tired eyes
Neon dripping softly across the cloudy sky
Feels like something shifting, quiet but alive
Almost like a signal you don’t have to try
You’re my little milky way
Shining where the dark can’t stay
Don’t say much — I hear you in the quiet anyway
Fading in the silver haze
Somehow you illuminate
Every step — like you’re pulling me a different way
Streetlights on your jacket, flicker then they fade
You laugh a tiny second — I forget the day
Your hands inside your pockets, mine are getting cold
Still the air between us feels a little bold
Something in the distance hums a gentle tune
Traffic lights are blinking like they’re watching you
I don’t ask the question 'cause you always knew
This kind of quiet moment only comes with you
You’re my little milky way
Shining where the dark can’t stay
Don’t say much — I hear you in the quiet anyway
Fading in the silver haze
Somehow you illuminate
Every step — like you’re pulling me a different way
Underneath the half-light, you look far away
Wish I knew the feeling you don’t wanna say
Still I trace the outline where the stars would lay
You’re a silent orbit pulling me your way
Milky way…
you light me up in quiet ways.
