Late Night Love

Intro

Late night

Blue glow on your face

Your name

Lighting up my phone

Verse 1

You say “baby, you awake?” (mm)

I’ve been staring at the phone all day

Different towns, different clocks

But we talk like the sun don’t change

You laugh, “you still thinking of meee?”

Yeah, the one and only that I think of all day

I can almost feel your hands

Touching every seam in my mind

Chorus

Calling from the miles apart, I’m yours

my city in the east, your city in the west

We just let that distance ring

But it can’t cut this string

Calling from the miles, still here

Every crackle in my ear

Sounds like you’re right by my side

Love don’t care about the drive

Calling from the miles apart, from the miles

Our love never fades

Our love never fades

Verse 2

She says, “baby, you sound tired”

I’ve been chasing you in every dream

You say, “I replay every word”

Till my pillow feels like your sleeve

We talk plans, we talk flights and beautiful homes.

We talk names we’d give our kids

Then we sit there, breathing quiet

Like a promise on our lips

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes I hate that goodbye tone

That little pause before the line goes

But every time you say my name

I’m back home again

Chorus

Calling from the miles apart, I’m yours

my city in the east, your city in the west

We just let that distance ring

But it can’t cut this string

Calling from the miles, still here

Every crackle in my ear

Sounds like you’re right by my side

Love don’t care about the drive

Calling from the miles, from the miles

Our love never fades

Our love never fades (oh, never)

Bridge

Male vocal, soft

If the road runs longer

I’ll let this heart speak louder

Female vocal, answering

If the nights fall colder

I’ll wrap your voice around me

Both

If the map gets bigger

We’ll draw our names across it

Every call, every breath

Is a promise, is a promise (yeah)

Jazzy Break

soft Rhodes and sax riff, wordless “ooh” harmonies

Chorus

Calling from the miles, far away I’m yours

my city in the east, your city in the west

We just let that distance ring

But it can’t cut this string

Calling from the miles, still here

Every crackle in my ear

Sounds like you’re right by my side

Love don’t care about the drive

Calling from the miles, from the miles, far away

Our love never fades

Our love never fades

Outro

whispered, overlapping

“Don’t hang up yet”

“Just breathe with me”

“Stay right there”

“Right there”

(yeah…)

(oh, baby)

soft kisses, hushed laughter, slow breathing

Love on the line

Love in the silence

Breathing in your name

Breathing out mine

(our love… never… dies)

[heavy breathing and quiet “I love you” ad-libs echo and fade].............,,,,,,.......
