Quiet Hours - Paper Atlas (Dreamy Electropop)

Quiet Hours — Paper Atlas If you like wistful synth-pop, bedroom electropop, and quiet nighttime songs, this is for you. Lyrics The motel clock is blinking 2:14 AM radio crawling through the wall A moth keeps tapping at the vending machine Like it’s trying to make a call I unfold a paper map of stars That doesn’t match the sky tonight Every name is someone else’s Every light is traveling late I keep the volume barely on Just enough to fill the room If the signal fades I’ll stay Humming whatever’s left of the tune Meet me in the quiet hours Where the highway forgets its name We’ll trade the ceiling for a planetarium And pretend the dark is kind Meet me in the quiet hours If the morning wants to wait I don’t need a miracle Just a frequency that stays There’s frost on the soda-machine glass And a postcard of a lake I never saw I write a letter I won’t send To a town that isn’t on the map Sodium lights in a pale gold row Like a runway no one uses now I could sleep, I know I could But the night is being generous I keep the window cracked an inch Winter leaning on the screen Every moth becomes a compass Every static becomes a scene Meet me in the quiet hours Where the highway forgets its name We’ll trade the ceiling for a planetarium And pretend the dark is kind Meet me in the quiet hours If the morning wants to wait I don’t need a miracle Just a frequency that stays If the world is only furniture And the sky is only paint Then why does a cheap telescope Make my chest feel so awake? Leave the porch light burning low Let the insects write in gold I’ll be here until the station Plays a song nobody knows Meet me in the quiet hours Where the highway forgets its name We’ll trade the ceiling for a planetarium And pretend the dark is kind Meet me in the quiet hours If the morning wants to wait I don’t need a miracle Just a frequency that stays Just a frequency that stays Just a frequency that stays Paper Atlas is a late-night electropop project. New songs for the hours when the highway forgets its name. Subscribe if this found you at the right time. #electropop #dreampop #synthpop
