After Hours

Verse 1
Bass in the floor like a heartbeat’s drum
We step through the door and the worries go numb
Your perfume mixed with city air and lime
We don’t need names, we just need time
After hours—where the truth gets brave

Pre-Chorus
Your hand finds mine like it’s always known
In this crowded room, we feel alone

Chorus
After hours, when the lights go low
We let the good hurt, we let it glow
No promises, just something pure
Two wild hearts finding a softer cure
After hours, we move like prayer
Love in the smoke and the midnight air

Verse 2
Ice in my glass like a tiny moon
DJ spins healing in an old love tune
You laugh, and my chest unlocks a door
I didn’t know I was closing before
Tell me your story with your eyes tonight

Pre-Chorus
Let the world judge in the morning sun
Right now, we’re just becoming one

Chorus
After hours, when the lights go low
We let the good hurt, we let it glow
No promises, just something pure
Two wild hearts finding a softer cure
After hours, we move like prayer
Love in the smoke and the midnight air

Verse 3
Outside, the street is slick with rain
We share one umbrella, share one name
Taxi horns sing like they’re jealous too
’Cause you look like trouble I want to choose
If this is a moment, let it be a myth

Pre-Chorus
I don’t need forever to feel alive
Just hold my gaze while the night survives

Bridge
Slow down—let the silence speak
Let the city fold at our feet
I’ve been strong for too damn long
Let me be soft, let me belong
If we part, let it be kind
If we stay, let it be divine
Either way, I won’t forget
How you made the dark feel blessed

Final Chorus
After hours, when the lights go low
We let the good hurt, we let it glow
No promises, just something pure
Two wild hearts finding a softer cure
After hours, the night is ours
We bloom in shadows like midnight flowers

Outro
Ooh… after hours
Mm… after hours
