You said the sky don’t change at night

It just forgets how to shine

I lit a match to see your face

But all I saw was time

I kept your note in my coat

Unread, like some kind of hope

⸻

Midnight’s just a theory

A shadow with no name

You keep calling it freedom

But it feels just the same

Tell me when it matters

Tell me when it ends

Or tell me when it’s over

So we can start again

⸻

The mirror cracked but didn’t lie

It just blurred what’s behind

And every word we never said

Now echoes back in rhyme

⸻

Ooh…Ooh…Ooh…

Smoke in the hallway, vinyl’s gone bad

You danced like a secret I never quite had

Streetlight confession, static romance

Waiting for closure that won’t take a chance

⸻

Midnight’s just a theory

Like truth behind a mask

We circle through the silence

Pretending it will pass

Tell me when it’s nothing

Tell me when it bends

Tell me when it’s over

So we don’t play pretend

⸻
