Electric Lullaby - Midnight Letters (Alternative Rock, Pop Rock, Emo Pop)

[Intro]
Midnight on my screen again
Your name lit like a warning sign
I type “you up?” then kill the lights
Let the city finish my lines
Elevators sigh, the hallway hums
Like distant traffic in my blood
I’m wide awake in our old room
Waiting on a ghost to buzz

[Verse 1]
Blue light on your shoulder
Coffee rings on the nightstand
Half-packed suitcase in the corner
You say “it’s late” like that explains anything
Your perfume in the pillowcase
Like a storm that didn’t land

[Pre-Chorus]
Street glow spilling through the blinds
Your shadow shaking over mine
You trace goodbye across my spine
Soft voice
Hard line
My phone keeps lighting up, then dying

[Chorus]
Sing me an electric lullaby
Let it hurt
Let it hold
Let it haunt me tonight
Kiss me like we're out of time
Soft thunder in my chest when you look in my eyes
Turn this aching into alibis
While you fade
While you fade
To an electric lullaby

[Post-Chorus]
Neon makes halos out of cars
And monsters out of empty space
I hold the silence like a scar
Where you used to be, your place

[Verse 2]
Your keys on the table
That dent in the wall from last July
We laugh at the worst parts of the story
You say “we tried” and it lands like a lie
The fridge light paints us strangers
In a room that learned to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
Clock hands crawling past our pride
Your sweater on the chair, arms open wide
I wear it like a borrowed life
Warm skin
Cold sky
And every promise turns to smoke

[Chorus]
Sing me an electric lullaby
Let it hurt
Let it hold
Let it haunt me tonight
Kiss me like we're out of time
Soft thunder in my chest when you look in my eyes
Turn this aching into alibis
While you fade
While you fade
To an electric lullaby

[Post-Chorus]
Neon, numb me, lull me down
Through the sirens, through the rain
If love is just a flicker now
Let it burn me clean again

[Verse 3]
I walk the block where we got lost
Between the diners and the trains
Headlights smear like little comets
On the wet black of the lane
I hold my breath at every crosswalk
Like you’ll call my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Billboards burning over us
In colors we can’t quite outrun
I read our thread like scripture
But the last page won’t be done
I keep my thumbs above “send”
Like it might bring back the sun

[Chorus]
Sing me an electric lullaby
Let it hurt
Let it hold
Let it haunt me tonight
Kiss me like we're out of time
Soft thunder in my chest when you look in my eyes
Turn this aching into alibis
While you fade
While you fade
To an electric lullaby

[Bridge]
Humming over static thoughts
Every memory running hot
Your laugh is a neon afterglow
In every window I can’t close
If this is how the ending sounds
Hold me while the city blacks out
Don’t fix it
Just feel it
Stay crooked
Then leave it
I forgive you in the echo
You forget me in the dawn

[Verse 4]
Back home, the ceiling’s doing circles
The radiator keeps time
I fold the shirt you left behind
And try to call it mine
I write a hundred little farewells
And delete them in the blue light

[Pre-Chorus]
Street glow spilling through the blinds
Your shadow fading out of mine
I trace goodbye across my spine
Soft voice
Hard line
But I can live past midnight, right?

[Chorus]
Sing me an electric lullaby
Let it hurt
Let it hold
Let it haunt me tonight
Kiss me like we're out of time
Soft thunder in my chest when you look in my eyes
Turn this aching into alibis
While you fade
While you fade
To an electric lullaby

[Outro]
When the morning peels the neon off the street
I’ll still taste your name like battery and sweet
If you ever miss me, don’t be polite
Light up my screen for one last night
Till then I’ll hum against the quiet sky
And rock myself in an electric lullaby
