Midnight Promise

Letra

[Verse 1] The kettle clicks beside the sink Your blue coat hangs where you left it I count the cars from the kitchen chair And let the quiet settle in [Pre-Chorus] One window keeps a narrow flame I hold my breath and say your name [Chorus] Midnight, meet me halfway home Past the closed-up corner store If you turn around, I’ll know I won’t ask for anything more Midnight, keep the promise small Just your footsteps in the hall [Verse 2] The last train folds across the bridge A paper cup rolls by the curb I found your note inside the book The one we never finished [Pre-Chorus] The hallway clock forgets to chime I leave the lamp on one more time [Chorus] Midnight, meet me halfway home Past the closed-up corner store If you turn around, I’ll know I won’t ask for anything more Midnight, keep the promise small Just your footsteps in the hall [Bridge] Maybe morning changes nothing Maybe that’s the honest part Still, I leave the door unlatched With your letter near my heart [Final Chorus] Midnight, meet me halfway home Past the closed-up corner store If you turn around, I’ll know I won’t ask for anything more Midnight, keep the promise small Just your footsteps in the hall [Outro] The kettle cools beside the sink The blue coat waits beneath the stairs
