Fifty minutes past midnight and it's still our town (Version 2)

Verse 1

Diner's closed, but the neon's still lit up on main

Fifty minutes past midnight and it's still our town

Your fingers brush against mine like a promise kept

And for once I don't need to say what's been unsaid

The streetlights keep humming in their old familiar way

Like they're counting down till morning, till we stay

Coffee cups stacked up on the counter like a drum

And every single one of them tells me that we've come

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it moving slow inside of me?

Every window flickering to life with secrets yet unseen

Is this the part where everything breaks free?

Or is this just another kind of slow-motion surrender

Chorus

Fifty minutes past midnight, and it's still our town

Windows lighting up like we're finally turning round

Everybody's talking softly in their sleep tonight

Fifty minutes past midnight, but I think I'm feeling right

Every single light along the block is a heartbeat I know

And you pull my wrist till the whole room starts to glow

Dance so soft with your eyes closed and your mouth open wide

Because in this quiet kind of moment, we're side by side

Verse 2

Your mother's old radio plays that same tired tune again

Fifty minutes past midnight and I'm finally clear of what it means

Bicycle tires humming like the whole block is alive

And every single shadow seems to be leaning in to watch us thrive

We used to think that moving on was just a fact of life

But now the only traffic jam I know is turning down this street tonight

Maybe love's not something you say, but something you repeat

Every time the world outside remembers we're here, still and deep

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it moving slow inside of me?

Every window flickering to life with secrets yet unseen

Is this the part where everything breaks free?

Or is this just another kind of slow-motion surrender

Chorus

Fifty minutes past midnight, and it's still our town

Windows lighting up like we're finally turning round

Everybody's talking softly in their sleep tonight

Fifty minutes past midnight, but I think I'm feeling right

Every single light along the block is a heartbeat I know

And you pull my wrist till the whole room starts to glow

Dance so soft with your eyes closed and your mouth open wide

Because in this quiet kind of moment, we're side by side

Bridge

No more counting down the hours left on the clock

Just me and you inside that perfect amber glow

I'm learning to keep every single breath I take

Not for the finish line, but just because the view feels right

Is this where we learn how to hold onto what's true?

Or is it just another one of those things we used to do?

All I know is when your eyes finally meet mine tonight

It turns out losing track of time wasn't a mistake at all, it was the start of something different and wide

Chorus

Fifty minutes past midnight, and it's still our town

Windows lighting up like we're finally turning round

Everybody's talking softly in their sleep tonight
