[Intro – Shortwave Static, Coded Signal] [Female Broadcast – Dry, Intimate] Frequency Eighty-Eight. The hour is twelve-oh-one. Nothing said after midnight is binding. [Verse 1] You arrived in borrowed diamonds I arrived with practiced charm Two strangers playing perfect With an evening on my arm We smiled for all the cameras Then disappeared upstairs You slipped out of your laughter And I finally met you there [Pre-Chorus] One more hour One more truth No witnesses Just me and you [Chorus] Everything after midnight counts Every secret coming out Every word we meant to hide Every silence by my side Call it foolish, call it fate Call it something said too late But when the morning shuts us down Everything after midnight counts [Verse 2] You told me why you never stay I told you why I never ask You touched the man beneath the name I saw the woman past the mask But daylight made us careful You wore your distance beautifully We honoured every line we drew Except the one surrounding me [Pre-Chorus] One more hour One more truth No promises Just me and you [Chorus] Everything after midnight counts Every secret coming out Every word we meant to hide Every silence by my side Call it foolish, call it fate Call it something said too late But when the morning shuts us down Everything after midnight counts [Post-Chorus – Female Echo] It counts It counts Even when you leave It counts [Verse 3] Then one night you stood before me With no diamonds, no disguise You said, “I will not be your secret Only beautiful at night” You left before the signal Could erase what you had said And every room grew louder With the words inside my head [Bridge – Drums Fall Away] I made a rule to keep me safe Then used it like a wall You never asked me for forever Only something real at all If love begins when fear runs out Then hear me clearly now— [Female Broadcast – Softly] Some promises do not need a signature. [Male Vocal] Stay when the morning comes Stay when the morning comes Let the daylight find us With nowhere left to run [Electric-Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Everything after midnight counts Every truth has found us now Every word we tried to hide Brought your heart here next to mine Call it reckless, call it fate I won’t let the morning take The only love I’ve ever found Everything after midnight counts Everything after midnight counts No more secrets, no way out Let the whole world turn around I will say it here and now You are more than one late hour More than whispers in the dark Morning cannot take away The name you left across my heart [Outro – Groove Fades into Static] [Female Broadcast] Frequency Eighty-Eight. Transmission received. [Male Vocal – Whispered] This time, it’s binding.
