Lyric

Plastic bag swinging from my wrist

Last train’s gone

I missed that kiss

Ticket gate closed like a quiet joke

Street-side ramen and cigarette smoke

Midnight taxi home

Watching raindrops race the chrome

City talking slow

In monochrome

But every light reminds me

Of you (Of you)

Midnight taxi home

Driver hums a tune I know

I trace your name in the fogged-up window

And let it go

Let it go

Purple skirt

You laughed

“It’s late”

Shared one drink

Pretended it was fate

You wrote your number on a paper straw

Now it’s in my pocket like a tiny law

Midnight taxi home

Watching raindrops race the chrome

City talking slow

In monochrome

But every light reminds me

Of you (Of you)

Midnight taxi home

Radio plays our borrowed song

Every chorus hits

But the night feels wrong

I mouth the words

Mouth the words

Maybe next weekend

Same back street

Same small bar where our eyes first meet

If I see you there

I’ll be brave this time

Say “Don’t go” when they call last ride

Midnight taxi home

Watching raindrops race the chrome

Heartbeat swaying as the meters glow

And every light reminds me

Of you (Of you)

Midnight taxi home

One more turn and I’m alone

I tip too much just to ride too slow

Then let you go

Let you go
