[Chorus]

Late nights I’ve been thinking about you

I’m a glass animal, in this heatwave too

I been delicate, might just shatter on cue

You make me melt, but is our future past due?


[Verse 1]

This is about love, loss, lust, and so much longing

You’re gone now, tears as I clutch your belongings

We talk all the time, through the night, till I’m yawning

But the idle mind is a dangerous place, I’m free-falling

I’m insecure, every time you don’t reply

Are you with another guy, has someone else got your time?

Are the emotions fading away? Doеs someone elsе get you high?

Are you falling in love again? Is someone else on your mind?

Paragraphs about how much I miss you

Voice messages of songs sonically to kiss you

But when I’m waking up, my thoughts are an issue

Sometimes you get dismissive, heart KOs in jujitsu

I’m anxious, I send you compliments

Dark academia, emotions fill up documents

Wanna make you wake up to a barrage of affection

Not an emperor, but metaphorically gonna build you monuments


[Bridge]

But I’m scared for when the music stops, and the penny drops

And gravity hits, and the bubble starts to pop

Tears coursing down my cheeks, somebody get this man a mop

Fear forcing through my nerves, can we tell the thoughts to stop?!


[Chorus 1]

Late nights I’ve been thinking about you

I’m a glass animal, in this heatwave too

I been delicate, might just shatter on cue

You make me melt, but is our future past due?


[Verse 2]

She says time and distance help you heal

Time and distance just compound my feels

Can’t listen to my favourite songs without her in my dreams

Can’t roll down the same roads without her as my wheels

I know you will move on soon

I know you will find someone more worthy than this fool

I know you will find someone to share your troubles with

Who you can unabashedly be edgy and oh so wacky with

I know you’ll find someone who remembers details in your stories

All the gossip and the drama, all the rants and all your worries

I know you’ll find someone who loves all of your body

Loves you with your scars and stretchmarks, he sees you its Diwali

I know you’ll find someone who makes it his purpose to make you smile every day

Who makes sure you wake up feeling gorgeous, go to sleep, feeling great

I know you’ll find someone who loves you better than I did


[Chorus 2]

And that’s why late nights I’ve been thinking about you

Watch the sun set, the moon in the midnight blue

I been delicate, might just shatter on cue

You make me melt, but is our future past due?

Late nights I’ve been thinking about you

I’m a glass animal, in this heatwave too

I been delicate, might just shatter on cue

You make me melt, but is our future past due?
