Lyrics
[Intro]
Ash in the tray
Glass by the sink
Radio low
Too tired to think
[Verse 1]
Your coat on the chair
Still smells like rain
Cup ring on the table
Little ghost of your name
Traffic on the window
Hums like a plea
Every red tail light
Looks like you leaving me
[Chorus]
There’s a midnight over me
Hanging heavy where the sky should be
Every clock hand drags its feet
In this empty room
Where you used to breathe
There’s a midnight
Midnight over me
[Verse 2]
Found your last letter
Folded in my jeans
Ink bled at the corner
Like it knew what it means
You wrote “I’ll be fine
Don’t you wait up late”
So I talk to the shadows
Till the coffee goes gray
[Chorus]
There’s a midnight over me
Hanging heavy where the sky should be
Every clock hand drags its feet
In this empty room
Where you used to breathe
There’s a midnight
Midnight over me
[Bridge]
I keep striking these matches
Let them burn down my knees (oh)
But the dark keeps on winning
When it sounds like you leaving the keys
[Chorus]
There’s a midnight over me
Hanging heavy where the sky should be
Every promise
Every plea
Falls like rain on a dead oak tree
There’s a midnight
Midnight over me
Midnight
Midnight over me
Ash in the tray
Glass by the sink
Radio low
Too tired to think
[Verse 1]
Your coat on the chair
Still smells like rain
Cup ring on the table
Little ghost of your name
Traffic on the window
Hums like a plea
Every red tail light
Looks like you leaving me
[Chorus]
There’s a midnight over me
Hanging heavy where the sky should be
Every clock hand drags its feet
In this empty room
Where you used to breathe
There’s a midnight
Midnight over me
[Verse 2]
Found your last letter
Folded in my jeans
Ink bled at the corner
Like it knew what it means
You wrote “I’ll be fine
Don’t you wait up late”
So I talk to the shadows
Till the coffee goes gray
[Chorus]
There’s a midnight over me
Hanging heavy where the sky should be
Every clock hand drags its feet
In this empty room
Where you used to breathe
There’s a midnight
Midnight over me
[Bridge]
I keep striking these matches
Let them burn down my knees (oh)
But the dark keeps on winning
When it sounds like you leaving the keys
[Chorus]
There’s a midnight over me
Hanging heavy where the sky should be
Every promise
Every plea
Falls like rain on a dead oak tree
There’s a midnight
Midnight over me
Midnight
Midnight over me
Style of Music
rock, Slow to mid-tempo melancholic blues rock; sparse, moody intro with clean electric guitar and female vocals alone, then lightly overdriven guitars and warm tube-amp grit creep in. Verses leave big spaces between vocal phrases for expressive guitar fills; drums stay lazy and behind the beat with a round bass anchoring the low end. Choruses swell with doubled raspy vocals and sustained guitar chords, then fall back to near-silence on the bridge, returning with a weary, dynamic final chorus., electric, clean, slow, emotional, blues
