[Verse 1]
Corner booth coffee cooling
Chart on a napkin
Ink bled blue
You tap out something crooked
I grin
Say
"That crooked fits you"

[Chorus]
You got that midnight crosswalk rhythm
Stepping on the cracks in time
Every move a little off-center
Still you land on the perfect line
I keep chasing your strange little patterns
Till my careful plans unwind
You got that midnight crosswalk rhythm
Cutting through this careful mind (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Talking like traffic at rush hour
Story on story
No brake lights
You laugh
Spill sugar on the table
Draw a map of all your half-wrong rights

[Chorus]
You got that midnight crosswalk rhythm
Stepping on the cracks in time
Every move a little off-center
Still you land on the perfect line
I keep chasing your strange little patterns
Till my careful plans unwind
You got that midnight crosswalk rhythm
Cutting through this careful mind (oh yeah)

[Bridge]
[Breakdown groove
Bass and drums up front
Vocal half-spoken]
Snap back
Snap back
To that sway you started
Sidewalk saint of the slow and late
Teach my heart your offbeat grace

[Chorus]
You got that midnight crosswalk rhythm
Stepping on the cracks in time
Every move a little off-center
Still you land on the perfect line
I keep chasing your strange little patterns
Till my careful plans unwind
You got that midnight crosswalk rhythm
Stay and bend this careful mind
