Lyrical Analysis of...
Midnight Vows
- **Midnight Vows**
- Intro (soft, echo)
- Late nights, your name on repeat (yeah)
- Phone glow like a heartbeat (woah)
- Verse 1
- City sleeps but my mind's awake, tracing every scar you gave,
- Red lights on the dashboard, I drive circles in your name.
- Your jacket on my shoulders like a ghost I still embrace,
- We traded promises for smoke and the memory won't fade.
- I sip the silence, trying not to drown in what we were,
- Every lullaby's a replay of the fights and the good words.
- You said forever like a bullet, hit me and stuck,
- Now I'm counting constellations from the pieces of my trust.
- Pre Chorus (melodic)
- I call your number, get the void, hear the echo of your laugh,
- Replay the movies in my head, wishing I could change the past.
- Love's a medicine and poison, sweet relief that kills me slow,
- But I'd take the pain if you would come back home.
- Chorus (sung, anthemic)
- 'Cause when the lights go out, you're my only light (you're my only light),
- Fighting through the black, trying to hold you through the night (through the night).
- We wrote our truth in ink that bleeds when it rains,
- Still I whisper midnight vows just to feel you say my name.
- Oh, oh —love keeps me sane, love keeps me wild,
- Oh, oh —love's the only place I want to hide for a while.
- Verse 2 (rap sung)
- I count the reasons like the miles on a road that never ends,
- Broken maps in my pocket, every route leads back to friends.
- You left like sudden thunder, left me shaking in the dark,
- But your laugh is a lighthouse cutting through the parts that bark.
- I trade my demons for your warmth, try to barter peace,
- But every calm betrays me where your absence never leaves.
- I write your initials on the glass when the windows fog at dawn,
- When I look up at the ceiling, all I see is where you gone.
- Pre Chorus (melodic)
- I call your number, get the void, hear the echo of your laugh,
- Replay the movies in my head, wishing I could change the past.
- Love's a medicine and poison, sweet relief that kills me slow,
- But I'd take the pain if you would come back home.
- Chorus (sung, full)
- 'Cause when the lights go out, you're my only light (my only light),
- Fighting through the black, trying to hold you through the night (through the night).
- We wrote our truth in ink that bleeds when it rains,
- Still I whisper midnight vows just to feel you say my name.
- Oh, oh —love keeps me sane, love keeps me wild,
- Oh, oh —love's the only place I want to hide for a while.
- Bridge (vulnerable, layered harmonies)
- I don't want heaven if it's empty without you,
- I don't want a future if you can't be in the view.
- All these stars are strangers without your smile,
- Pull me back from nowhere, stay with me awhile.
- (yeah, stay —woah)
- Breakdown (fragile, near whisper)
- I swear I'd trade the nights I lost to save the ones we had,
- Turn the static into symphonies, erase the bad.
- If love's a battlefield, I'm laying down my arms,
- Come back and heal the silence with your small and simple charms.
- Final Chorus (big, cathartic)
- When the lights go out, you're my only light (you're my only light),
- Fighting through the black, trying to hold you through the night (through the night).
- We wrote our truth in ink that bleeds when it rains,
- Still I whisper midnight vows just to feel you say my name.
- Oh, oh —love keeps me sane, love keeps me wild,
- Oh, oh —love's the only place I want to hide for a while.
- Outro (echo, fading)
- Phone glow fade away, but your echo's in my chest (yeah),
- Midnight vows and empty rooms —still I call you my best.
