(Verse 1)
It’s deep in the night, the world’s turned low,
I’m half in a dream, moving real slow,
Bare feet on the floor, I don’t switch the light,
‘Cause I know this route in the dead of night.
I’m running on instinct, barely awake,
Every step feels like it’s a mistake,
The bathroom’s calling, I’m almost there…
But I’m not fully present—don’t really care.
(Pre-Chorus)
I should’ve turned the light on, I know that’s true…
But sleepy decisions don’t think things through…
(Chorus)
Oh no, it happened again tonight,
In the dark, I got my aim all right-ish,
But half-asleep with my coordination gone,
I didn’t realize I was doing it wrong.
Now I’m standing there in a quiet despair,
Like “how did it end up down there?”
Just me and the truth I didn’t invite—
A midnight misfire in the pale moonlight.
(Verse 2)
I freeze for a second, still in a haze,
Trying to process my sleepy ways,
There’s no big drama, no grand defeat…
Just the awkward shock of cold on my feet.
I sigh to myself, “well, that’s my luck,”
One bad decision, half-asleep stuck,
I shuffle away like I’ve seen a ghost,
Trying to forget it as I head back to post.
(Pre-Chorus)
Tomorrow me will laugh, I know he will,
Right now I’m just… standing still.
(Chorus)
Oh no, it happened again tonight,
In the dark, I got my aim all right-ish,
But half-asleep with my coordination gone,
I didn’t realize I was doing it wrong.
Now I’m standing there in a quiet despair,
Like “how did it end up down there?”
Just me and the truth I didn’t invite—
A midnight misfire in the pale moonlight.
(Bridge)
Next time I’ll turn that bathroom light,
Save myself from the sleepy fright,
But I know me… I’ll still pretend,
“I don’t need help, I’ve got it in the end…”
(Final Chorus)
Oh no, it happened again tonight,
But I’ll survive, I’ll be alright-ish,
Just one of those things that life will throw,
When you’re half asleep and moving slow.
And I’ll laugh it off in the morning light,
At my midnight misfire in the middle of the night.
