Face Down at Midnight
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
The phone stopped ringing on the blanket
and I didn't reach to check
you laughed at something soft and small
and I forgot the world could beckon

[Pre-chorus]
No message waiting could compare
to how your voice sounds close and low
I feel the pull before you speak

[Chorus]
Frankie, nothing outside this room
could pull me half as far as you
the whole loud world can wait till morning
Frankie, I already knew

[Verse 2]
You reached across and turned the lamp down
said the dark was kinder anyway
I watched you settle into quiet
and felt my whole chest sway

[Bridge]
Let the hours go uncounted
let the messages pile high
nothing they could ever tell me
matters more than you close by

[Chorus]
Frankie, nothing outside this room
could pull me half as far as you
the whole loud world can wait till morning
Frankie, I already knew

[Outro]
That phone's still lying face down there
and I still haven't moved
