Late Night Texts

Verse 1
Neon on the window, painting dots on your cheek
I said I’m “busy,” but I’m weak when you speak
My screen lights up like a small confession
Two words from you, and my pulse learns a lesson
“you up?”—and the whole room leans in

Pre-Chorus
I know it’s dangerous, I know it’s sweet
But I keep walking where the feelings meet

Chorus
Late night texts, turning silence into sound
A little “hey” and my walls fall down
We say we’re done, but we circle back
Like the moon to the sea, like a beat to a clap
Late night texts, and I’m wide awake
Catching feelings in the glow of your mistake

Verse 2
I type, erase, then type again—too honest, too soon
My heart’s a crowded room under one dim moon
You send a laugh, and I taste the past
Like warm bread, like a love that moved too fast
Tell me—are we healing or just crashing?

Pre-Chorus
If this is a habit, why does it feel like home?
If you’re just lonely, why do I want you close?

Chorus
Late night texts, turning silence into sound
A little “hey” and my walls fall down
We say we’re done, but we circle back
Like the moon to the sea, like a beat to a clap
Late night texts, and I’m wide awake
Catching feelings in the glow of your mistake

Verse 3
Your voice note lands like perfume in the air
Sudden and soft like you’re almost here
I hear your smile through the static and sighs
And I remember how you looked in streetlight eyes
But I also remember the day you left me

Pre-Chorus
So tell me the truth in a sentence or two
Are you missing me… or missing what I do?

Bridge
I don’t want half-love at half-past three
Don’t want “I need you” when it’s convenient for free
If you’re coming, come with daylight courage
Not just midnight hunger and temporary promise
‘Cause I’m learning peace tastes better than pain
And I won’t trade my calm for your rain
So if you mean it, say it loud
If you don’t—let me out

Final Chorus
Late night texts, I’m choosing what I keep
A heart needs rest, a soul needs sleep
We say we’re done—this time, I mean that
No more running circles on the welcome mat
Late night texts—I bless, I release
Turning “you up?” into “I’m at peace”

Outro
Mm… goodnight
I’m letting go tonight
