“My Morning, Your Midnight” lyrics

(Mm) my morning
Your midnight

Two missed calls when I wake for Lagos
You call before you sleep for Toronto
Voice note long, I play am twice
Your laugh for the background, snow and ice
I dey cook breakfast, you dey dream
Sunlight for me, moonlight for your screen
I send "good morning," you go see am late
Na so we dey, na so we wait

My morning, your midnight
We dey try, we dey try
My morning, your midnight (mm)
One day, same sky

I set alarm for 3 a.m.
Just to hear you say my name again
December ticket, I don pay
Soon no more time zone for the way
You ask "how Lagos? how Mama dey?"
I say "she dey pray you come one day"
You laugh, you yawn, you say "goodnight"
I say "good morning," na our own life

My morning, your midnight
We dey try, we dey try
My morning, your midnight (mm)
One day, same sky

Five hours apart (mm)
One heart (mm)
Five hours apart
One heart

My morning, your midnight
We dey try, we dey try
My morning, your midnight (mm)
One day, same sky

Same sky (we dey try)
My morning, your midnight
