Night to Morning

(Verse 1)
Late train breathing, doors slide shut
City hum in my headphones, turning low to a hush
I was counting my losses, trying not to feel much
Till you showed up laughing like the night had a crush
Streetlamp halos on your cheekbone glow
You said, “You look tired,” like you already know
I said, “It’s been a week,” you said, “Then let it go”
And the cold on the sidewalk started feeling like home

(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t usually open up, I keep it on lock
But you got that calm that makes the noise stop
And if I’m being honest, I forgot how to breathe
Till you smiled and the whole world moved under my feet

(Chorus)
Take me from the night to morning
Let the doubts burn out, let the skyline soften
If your hand is mine, I’m not alone in it
We can outrun the past with one slow minute
No big speeches, no perfect warning
Just stay right here—night to morning
’Cause I’ve been living in the in-between
And you feel like the start of something real to me

(Verse 2)
Corner store coffee, two paper cups
You made a joke about fate, I pretended I’m tough
Your jacket on my shoulders when the wind kicked up
Like you knew all my storms and you still showed love
We talked about dreams that we shelved too long
About old goodbyes that still play like songs
You said, “You deserve more than just holding on”
And for the first time, I believed you might be right

(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t need a spotlight, don’t need a scene
Just your voice when my thoughts get mean
And that little look you give when you start to see
The parts of me I’ve kept behind a screen

(Chorus)
Take me from the night to morning
Let the doubts burn out, let the skyline soften
If your hand is mine, I’m not alone in it
We can outrun the past with one slow minute
No big speeches, no perfect warning
Just stay right here—night to morning
’Cause I’ve been living in the in-between
And you feel like the start of something real to me

(Bridge)
Okay—tell me the truth, don’t sugarcoat it
If you’re scared, say so, we can hold it
I’ve been the type to leave before I’m chosen
But you make me want to try with my heart wide open
And if the sun comes up and it changes the view
Promise you won’t vanish like some people do
I’m not asking forever like a chain on you
Just don’t let this fade if it’s real for you too

(Break / Soft)
We can watch the streetlights flicker out one by one
Like the city’s exhale when the long night’s done
Your fingers in mine, and my chest feels warm
Like I finally found peace in the eye of the storm

(Final Chorus – lift)
Take me from the night to morning
Let the doubts burn out, let the skyline soften
If your hand is mine, I’m not alone in it
We can outrun the past with one slow minute
No big speeches, no perfect warning
Just stay right here—night to morning
’Cause I’ve been living in the in-between
And you feel like the start of something real to me

(Outro)
Woah-oh-oh
Ooh, ooh
Stay—don’t go
Yeah, yeah
From the night to morning
