Lyric

The rain kept tracing lines across the glass

While the city blurred into midnight blue

I saw your name light up my phone twice

Then disappear before I could answer

There are nights the silence gets too loud

When every thought feels heavier at 2 AM

And I know you always say you’re “fine,”

Even when your voice sounds like breaking

You don’t have to explain the darkness

For me to stay on the line

Call me if you’re still awake

I don’t care what time it is tonight

You don’t have to carry every fear

All by yourself in the dark

Call me if you’re still awake

Even if you don’t know what to say

Sometimes surviving the night

Starts with hearing somebody stay

The highway lights stretched endlessly ahead

Like the world was trying not to sleep either

I drove with the windows cracked open

Letting cold air keep me honest

You once told me healing felt impossible

Like trying to outrun your own shadow

But shadows only exist where light reaches

And somehow that thought stayed with me

Maybe nobody really heals alone

Maybe we just keep finding each other in the dark

Call me if you’re still awake

Even if your hands are shaking tonight

You don’t have to become someone stronger

Before you deserve to be loved

Call me if you’re still awake

I’ll stay until the sky turns silver-blue

And if tomorrow still feels too far away

We’ll just survive this hour first

I used to think I had to disappear quietly

So nobody would notice I was hurting

But maybe being seen at your worst

Is the beginning of staying alive

Call me if you’re still awake

Through every night that feels endless

The world doesn’t need you shining perfectly

It just needs you here

Call me if you’re still awake

Until the rain finally fades away

And when the morning light reaches your room

I hope you stay to see it too

The call lasted until sunrise

And neither of us hung up first
