In the Dead of Night

Intro
(0:00 - 0:15)
(Ambient synth pads fade in with a slow, echoing electric piano chord)
​[Verse 1]
(0:15 - 0:45)
Streets are quiet under amber light
Shadows stretching in the cool midnight
Got your ghost sitting in the passenger seat
Echoes playing to a slow-tempo beat
I drive past the places we used to know
Moving fast, but the feelings stay slow
Neon flickers on the wet pavement glass
Hoping some memories don't have to pass
​[Chorus]
(0:45 - 1:15)
(Heavy sub-bass drops in with rich vocal stacks)
In the dead of the night, when the city breathes low
You’re the only real thing that I wanted to hold
Late-night whispers fading into the dark
Just a flicker of a dying, cinematic spark
Yeah, we’re burning out slow in the midnight air
Looking for answers, but nobody's there
​[Verse 2]
(1:15 - 1:45)
Clock is ticking past the hour of grace
Every corner of this room has your face
Smoke curling upward to the ceiling fan
Trying to pick up what we never began
It's a heavy kind of silence when the phone don't ring
Just the haunting sound of an old love song sing
​[Chorus]
(1:45 - 2:15)
In the dead of the night, when the city breathes low
You’re the only real thing that I wanted to hold
Late-night whispers fading into the dark
Just a flicker of a dying, cinematic spark
Yeah, we’re burning out slow in the midnight air
Looking for answers, but nobody's there
​[Outro]
(2:15 - 2:30)
(Instruments strip back one by one, leaving only the Rhodes piano and a soft, lingering vocal fade)
Just the midnight air...
Yeah, fading slow...
(Fade out)
