Streetlights flicker on the glass
I’m driving slow, letting the silence pass
Every corner feels like then
Like you might be ‘round it again
Your song came on in someone’s car
It’s strange how sounds know who we are
I turned it down, but not enough
Guess some things still call my bluff
I don’t write, I don’t reach
But your name still slips in speech
Like it’s hiding in my tone
Even when I’m alone
It’s past midnight, and you’re still near
Not in words, but in the air I hear
Every red light, every pause
Feels like you without the cause
I’m not chasing what won’t stay
But you never fully walked away
You're the thought I never fight
Still here, past midnight
The door’s still locked, but I leave it light
Like maybe you'd show up some night
Not for closure, not to mend
Just to know you don’t pretend
I let go like people do
But some ghosts just follow through
They don’t knock, they don’t explain
They just wait inside the rain
It’s past midnight, and you’re still near
Not in words, but in the air I hear
Every red light, every pause
Feels like you without the cause
I’m not chasing what won’t stay
But you never fully walked away
You're the thought I never fight
Still here, past midnight
And if I sleep, I dream too light
Still hoping you'll turn out the night
