Midnight Stacks

[Intro]
[Verse]
Eleven PM light is low
Blue ink on your thumb tip
Watching the clock tick slow
Midnight shift is our trip
Paper cuts and heavy dust
In this quiet we trust
[Pre-Chorus]
Three months of the same
Cold brew and no name
For what this is becoming
I hear your heart drumming
[Chorus]
It’s the way you lean
In the spaces between
The prose and the rhyme
We’re just killing time
But I’m falling for real
In this paperback deal
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah it’s certain now
Don’t ask me how
Just stay right here
Keep the vision clear
[Verse]
You hum a little Donny
Restocking the Rumi section
Looking so sweet and bonny
In your own reflection
Leftover croissants on the plate
Shared crumbs on a paper date
[Chorus]
It’s the way you lean
In the spaces between
The prose and the rhyme
We’re just killing time
But I’m falling for real
In this paperback deal
[Bridge]
Hands brush on a spine
Is your pulse like mine?
A hardback return
Watch the slow burn
No need for a shout
I’ve figured it out
[Break]
[Verse]
The Wurlitzer in my head
Plays what isn't said
Between the long goodnight
And the yellow street light
You're my favorite chapter
And the quiet after
[Chorus]
It’s the way you lean
In the spaces between
The prose and the rhyme
We’re just killing time
But I’m falling for real
In this paperback deal
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah it’s certain now
Don’t ask me how
Just stay right here
Keep the vision clear
[Outro]
