No Reply after Midnight

Your message lit the coatroom wall The same old hour, the same old call You only miss me when it's late And every better plan has changed My friends were waiting by the stairs I put my phone away right there No reply after midnight I am busy with my own life If you mean it, find the daylight No reply after midnight The bass came up beneath my feet I found my sister in the heat She spun me where the lights went blue And didn't ask a thing of you No reply after midnight I am busy with my own life If you mean it, find the daylight No reply after midnight At ten you called and spoke it clear I heard you out, I kept it brief A better hour doesn't change The answer I had learned to give No reply after midnight I am busy with my own life If you mean it, find the daylight No reply after midnight I bought us breakfast on the street We took our time and ate in peace
