Midnight Brawl of the Stars

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Edgar in a cracked black jacket Collette in a dress like smoke Crowded room Cheap gin Blue lashes Every word a tiny joke He says "You never call me careful" She laughs "You never call at all" Two drinks in Sharp looks Soft edges Both waiting for the fall [Chorus] Night dance Edgar and Collette Brawl of stars the sky forgets Spinning close then pulling scarred hearts apart Who throws the first light in the dark Night dance Fragile cigarettes Burning names they might regret Crashing like they’re fighting for a dying spark Brawl of stars across the dark [Verse 2] Song shifts The floor gets louder Her heel snaps He grabs her hand “That’s twice you’ve saved my weekend Stranger” “Still don’t know where we should land” She says “You’re always chasing impact” He says “You’re always staying still” They circle like a rumor spreading Too afraid to speak the thrill [Chorus] Night dance Edgar and Collette Brawl of stars the sky forgets Spinning close then pulling scarred hearts apart Who throws the first light in the dark Night dance Fragile cigarettes Burning names they might regret Crashing like they’re fighting for a dying spark Brawl of stars across the dark [Bridge] [Beat drops to hushed keys] She whispers “Are we friends or almost?” He answers “I’m too old for lies” Two slow steps One brave confession Fire waking in their eyes (oh) [Chorus] Night dance Edgar and Collette Brawl of stars the sky forgets Spinning close then pulling scarred hearts apart Who throws the first light in the dark Night dance Say it or forget This might be the one they get Kissing like they’re fighting for a brand-new start Brawl of stars Colliding hearts
