Midnight Hour

Sing soft for me like you used to
I know unconditional isn't quite what you're used to
Pull the strings, stick the needles in just like voodoo
I just hope you read this letter just like Blue's Clue
You taught me how to be with all of my being
And everything I'm seeing keeps falling in between
The cracks, I was never into girls that stayed with bent backs
You'd never hear me knockin' "Here's Johnny!" like Jack
Something about the Dawn always kept me coming back
But now I feel lost because it's the only thing I lack
I wish the sun would could come over the moon
Color splash the grey and then set on you
Is that too cool?
Or is it too much to ask for?
A miserable boy without a reason to laugh for
A loss of joy with a terrible knack for
Getting tossed aside like bad soy
But I guess I'm used to it

All bullshit aside, you're my lady
And even if this overrides, you're amazing
No matter what the time, you'll be my baby
But until that time, I'll be waiting
In the midnight hour when you sleep,
I hope you dream of me, I hope you dream of me
In the midnight hour when you creep,
Come get a piece of me, come get a piece of me

And in that time, I'll be rolling up marijuana and drinking vanilla chai
Contemplating on when you'll eventually be mine
And I'll be on horseback like Lu Bu
I've grown from long nights, drinks, and playing chess with Sun Tzu
I even gotten rid of my goons too
But no matter what, a bad ending is what I'm doomed to
I miss the nights where you'd trace my tattoos
And look me in the eye and tell me how much I mean to you
Things change and nothing's what it seems
But when you walked my way the sky poured diamond rings
This is corny but I loved the way your eyes gleamed
You always told me I was great but there's a fan of you inside of me
Feelings are lost as eyes begin to gloss
And as much as niggas claim they floss
And try to strive to be a boss
An eagle soars highest when alone, there's always a cost

All bullshit aside, you're my lady
And even if this overrides, you're amazing
No matter what the time, you'll be my baby
But until that time, I'll be waiting
In the midnight hour when you sleep,
I hope you dream of me, I hope you dream of me
In the midnight hour when you creep,
Come get a piece of me, come get a piece of me

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Still a work in progress. I reworking of a Pharrell Williams song that definitely did not get enough credit.

Repetitiveness

I like the repetition in the lyrics - Lady A
