Lyrics

The clock keeps turning and the house is still
I swore I wouldn't reach for you again
But the longer I sit with the quiet around me
The harder it gets to pretend this is the end
I can feel the pull it's stronger than before
Every hour that passes I'm closer to your door
So I dialed you after midnight
When the rest of the world went quiet
I thought the story was finished
But the feeling wouldn't die
I'm standing here in the dark
With the phone against my heart
And I don't have to say the words
You already know why
I saw your name and my chest got tight
Told myself I'd stay strong and let it ride
But the second I answered the truth came through
I've been fighting the same fight too
I can feel it rising I can't push it down
Every breath that you take is spinning me around
So I answered after midnight
When the rest of the world went quiet
I thought the story was finished
But the feeling wouldn't die
I'm standing here in the dark
With the phone against my heart
And I don't have to say the words
You already know why
We walked away and called it done
But the night keeps bringing us back as one
If you're still listening if you're still there
Then stop the pretending and meet me right here
So we're talking after midnight
When the rest of the world went quiet
We thought the story was finished
But the feeling wouldn't die
We're standing here in the dark
With the phone against our hearts
And we don't have to say the words
We already know why
After midnight
Still here
