Come Meet Me at Midnight

Intro

Mmm, ooh-oh, ah-ah

Mmm, ooh-oh, ah-ah

Verse

You left your coffee cup on my balcony

Laughed a little louder when I walked in, (yeah)

You said my name like it mattered, like you wanted it to stick

I took it as kindness, I called it luck, I called it simple

You handed me your jacket like it fit me better than yours

I thought it was polite — I misread every favor, every door

I kept the notes you never meant to send, folded into my palm

I kept pretending you were only kind, not loving me back

Pre-chorus

I told myself I was the brave one, the one who didn't need more

But every quiet touch I missed — (missed, missed)

Every late-night laugh that could've been a promise — (could've been)

I blinked and let the moment slide right through my fingers

Chorus

Come meet me at midnight, come meet me at eleven

Come meet me at midnight, come meet me at eleven

Come meet me at midnight, bring your hands, bring your hands

Bring your hands, bring your hands, yeah (bring your hands)

Let's try like we mean it, let's date like it's our first plan

Let's try like we mean it, let's date like it's our first plan

I missed the signs, I missed the signs, (I missed them) I missed the signs

I missed the signs that you were loving me — loving me back

Verse

You texted me a song and then deleted it fast (uh-huh)

You stood too close when the elevator stopped at my floor

Your friends teased in a way that wasn't just a joke

You always checked the smaller things — my coat, my keys, my mood

I chalked it up to friendship, to coincidence, to me being blind

Now I'm replaying tiny scenes like film in slow rewind

I keep circling the café where we used to talk for hours

Waiting for a table for two to be set down in my stubborn heart

Pre-chorus

I said I was okay to let time do its slow work (alright)

But time burned maps where routes to you were drawn (oh-oh)

If I had noticed the way you waited in the rain

Maybe I'd have asked instead of holding back my name

Chorus

Come meet me at midnight, come meet me at eleven

Come meet me at midnight, come meet me at eleven

Come meet me at midnight, bring your hands, bring your hands

Bring your hands, bring your hands, yeah (bring your hands)

Let's try like we mean it, let's date like it's our first plan

Let's try like we mean it, let's date like it's our first plan

I missed the signs, I missed the signs, (I missed them) I missed the signs

I missed the signs that you were loving me — loving me back

Bridge

Don't say it's too late, don't fold your coat away (no-no)

I can learn the language of your small, quiet ways (teach me)

I'll memorize the little pauses that mean 'stay' (stay, stay)

I'll chase the tender in the way you hesitate (chase, chase)

So take my number, take my breath, take this slow-turned plea

Meet me under streetlamps, meet me where we used to be

Say the soft words loud enough so I can't pretend

Say you wanted
