Midnight Rewind

 

**Midnight Rewind**

 

 

Verse 1

 

Late texts lit on my screen, you ghost inside the glow,

 

Phone hums like a heartbeat when I’m trying not to show.

 

Pulled your name through my thoughts like vinyl through a groove,

 

Every crack, every skip — I’m replaying you.

 

City sleeps but my mind’s wide, neon bleeding through,

 

Took a walk past the places where I used to call you.

 

You said love was a promise, folded like a note,

 

Now I’m tracing all the edges of the words I never wrote.

 

 

Pre-Chorus

 

And I swear the night keeps whispering your truth,

 

Like a melody that hurts but somehow soothes.

 

If I drown in memory, would you pull me through?

 

Or are we just two echoes of a tune?

 

 

Chorus

 

You’re my midnight rewind — can’t let the chorus fade,

 

Looping in my chest like a ghost that never stayed.

 

I’m stuck on your frequency, lost on your line,

 

Pull me from the static, baby, come back one more time.

 

You’re my midnight rewind — I can’t switch the light,

 

Every shadow on my ceiling spells your name tonight.

 

If love is a departure, I keep running behind,

 

Caught in the echo of our midnight rewind.

 

 

Verse 2

 

Told myself I’m stronger, but the script keeps flipping pages,

 

Photos in my wallet like a treasure for the lonely ages.

 

We burnt bridges for heat, now the roads are cold and thin,

 

And the smoke still smells like everything we were in.

 

Your laugh’s a memory like rain on tin, soft and sudden,

 

I chase the outline of a future that we never budded.

 

My heart’s on loop, your silhouette in rewind light,

 

Counting every second until the day turns into night.

 

 

Pre-Chorus

 

And I feel you on the highway of the things I didn’t do,

 

A satellite that knows the route but not the view.

 

If I fold up honesty and send it out to you,

 

Would you open or would you leave it in the blue?

 

 

Chorus

 

You’re my midnight rewind — can’t let the chorus fade,

 

Looping in my chest like a ghost that never stayed.

 

I’m stuck on your frequency, lost on your line,

 

Pull me from the static, baby, come back one more time.

 

You’re my midnight rewind — I can’t switch the light,

 

Every shadow on my ceiling spells your name tonight.

 

If love is a departure, I keep running behind,

 

Caught in the echo of our midnight rewind.

 

 

Bridge (half-sung, half-rapped)

 

I can feel the tremor in the silence when you leave,

 

Heartbeat in my throat, all these promises deceive.

 

I was trying to be fearless, you were trying to be free,

 

Now the radio’s a witness to the way you left me.

 

But if there’s a chance, even a thread of what we had,

 

I’d stitch the night together, even if it makes me sad.

 

Call it desperation, call it faith in foolish light,

 

I’ll press play on yesterday and hope it’s right.

 

 

Final Chorus (big, aching)

 

You’re my midnight rewind — can’t let the chorus fade,

 

Looping in my chest like a ghost that never stayed.

 

I’m stuck on your frequency, lost on your line,

 

Pull me from the static, baby, come back one more time.

 

You’re my midnight rewind — I can’t switch the light,

 

Every shadow on my ceiling spells your name tonight.

 

If love is a departure, I keep running behind,

 

Caught in the echo of our midnight rewind.

 

 

Outro (soft, fading)

 

Midnight keeps me honest, moonlight writes your name,

 

I’m just a passenger inside a memory train.

 

If you ever wanna stop the world and press rewind,

 

I’ll be right where the chorus ends — waiting on the line.
