After Hours

"AFTER HOURS"

Intro

(Ooh, ooh)

Yeah, yeah

Mmm, oh

It's something 'bout the nighttime

That makes me think of you

Verse 1

Two AM, the city's looking beautiful

Streetlights dancing on the dashboard glow

Windows down, got the summer in my soul

And nowhere in particular we gotta go

Your favorite song is playing on repeat

You sing the wrong words, but it's sweet to me

I swear this whole damn world can disappear

As long as I got you sitting next to me

Pre-Chorus

And I don't wanna go home

Not while the moon is shining

We could drive until the sunrise

Baby, I don't mind it

Chorus

Let's take the long way tonight

With the stars above and your hand in mine

We ain't gotta know where we're going

Just let the damn road keep rolling

And if the morning comes too soon

I'll steal another hour with you

'Cause there's something 'bout these late-night drives

That makes me fall in love every time

(Ooh, every time)

Every fucking time

Verse 2

Red lights, but there's no rush

Your perfume lingering in the air

You tell me things you never say enough

And somehow I forget about my cares

Maybe we're just running from tomorrow

Maybe we're just chasing yesterday

But I'd rather get lost in this moment

Than have to watch you drive away

Pre-Chorus

So don't you worry 'bout the time

We've got nowhere to be

Let the city fall behind us

It's just you and me

Chorus

Let's take the long way tonight

With the stars above and your hand in mine

We ain't gotta know where we're going

Just let the damn road keep rolling

And if the morning comes too soon

I'll steal another hour with you

'Cause there's something 'bout these late-night drives

That makes me fall in love every time

Bridge – Soft falsetto

Ooh, don't let the night end

I ain't ready for the daylight

Your silhouette against the moonlight

Got me wishing this was all my life

And fuck what everybody says

We don't need a destination

Just your voice inside my head

And this little bit of separation

Outro – Layered harmonies

Take me somewhere

Anywhere with you

Underneath the streetlights

With a midnight view

(Ooh, don't go)

Don't let me go

We can drive until there's nowhere left to go

Mmm...

Just one more ride

Just one more night

With you by my side.
