[Verse 1] Kettle gone cold on the counter I’m counting cracks in the tile Your name in my head like a looped-up sketch I’ve been tracing it for a while The room holds still in the blue-gray haze My phone face-down, no reply I watch the fan cut the silence slow And let my thoughts drift by [Pre-Chorus] Mm, they keep spinning Mm, never land I fold the night in half Just to hold it in my hand [Chorus] Late night thoughts, late night thoughts They come back soft Late night thoughts, late night thoughts Can’t turn them off I breathe them in I let them pass Late night thoughts, late night thoughts They know my path [Verse 2] A bus rolls by with a low soft hum Somebody laughs down the hall I write one line on the back of a bill Then I cross it out, that’s all Maybe I’m tired, maybe I’m clear Maybe both at once tonight I make little peace with the mess I keep And I leave it by the side [Pre-Chorus] Mm, they keep spinning Mm, like a wheel If I stay with the ache It gets easier to feel [Chorus] Late night thoughts, late night thoughts They come back soft Late night thoughts, late night thoughts Can’t turn them off I breathe them in I let them pass Late night thoughts, late night thoughts They know my path [Bridge] If morning comes with its bright hard face I’ll meet it halfway slow But for now I’m here with the half-lit room And the thoughts I let grow Not every question needs a door Not every hurt needs a name Sometimes the dark is just a velvet chair And I sit down in the frame [Final Chorus] Late night thoughts, late night thoughts They come back soft Late night thoughts, late night thoughts Can’t turn them off I breathe them in I let them pass Late night thoughts, late night thoughts They know my path [Outro] Mm-mm, they know my path Mm-mm, they know my path
