After Midnight Lyrics

So we sit together at sunset

Waiting until it's safe to speak

You have your drink, I have mine

Your gaze is fixed on

Well

On anything that's not me

I steal glances at you over the rim of my glass

As I take sips of courage

You're not really here

But still I stay

When the sound of footsteps has faded

You dip your head

Cup my face in your hands

And finally your eyes find mine

Your eyes read me

All of my unsaid stories

My breath catches

You kiss me And I am alive again

Moving in the darkness

I believe the white lies your lips tell my skin

I believe in the beautiful fictions of your touch

Your body

It lies so well

And after midnight

I tell you my happy secrets

Make you laugh

And you hold me tight until you drift off to sleep

When your breath is even

I will speak my darkness

Tell you of my pain

Let you in as I slowly pull away

For the briefest of moments

We were real

And I could dream

Of a future that will never be

The sun rises And so do I

I know you're awake but you don't look up

Without the shadows, I am nothing

I walk out the door

Held together by

Little white lies of lust and

The honesty of midnight whispers
