Streetlights flicker like broken dreams
Bottle shadows dance on shallow streams
A lonely hum through the open air
Night's a thief and it's barely fair
Midnight's crawling on a crooked spine
Lost in the haze between yours and mine
Echoes twist in a low sultry tone
The night sings soft but leaves me alone
Glass swirling slow with a guilty grin
Fire in the gut where troubles begin
Breath hangs heavy like a smoky spell
Chased by notes that know me too well
The city moans with a rusted cry
Heartbeats tangled beneath the sky
Every chord pulls a piece of regret
This tune remembers what I’d rather forget
Midnight's crawling on a crooked spine
Lost in the haze between yours and mine
Echoes twist in a low sultry tone
The night sings soft but leaves me alone
Fingers trace stars on a whiskey rim
Lights blur soft till the world grows dim
Tomorrow’s a stranger I’ll learn to greet
But tonight
Sweet sorrow plays on repeat
Midnight's crawling on a crooked spine
Lost in the haze between yours and mine
Echoes twist in a low sultry tone
The night sings soft but leaves me alone
