The Dead of Night

(Verse 1) Scratched this number on the wall, with a rusty nail Hotel window, grimy pane, casting shadows pale Phone rings hollow in my ear, static on the line Guess karma's come to collect, for what I couldn't leave behind (Chorus) Honey, pick up the phone Your worries ain't so distant now, I'm facing this alone Tell the kids I'll miss them, won't be home tonight Gotta paint a different picture, set the wrongs to right (Verse 2) Remember all those nights you cried, blamed the tension on the air? But the truth cuts deeper now, a secret he couldn't bear Said it was just work stress, late nights under city lights Left you with a shaky hand, drowning in hidden fights (Bridge) Maybe you can hold me close, pray the miles hold tight But vengeance has a bitter taste, served cold under the neon light (Chorus) Honey, pick up the phone Your worries ain't so distant now, I'm facing this alone Tell the kids I'll miss them, won't be home tonight Gotta paint a different picture, set the wrongs to right (Outro) Yeah, gotta set things right Make him wish he never crossed that line, in the dead of night
