A Second to Midnight
[Verse 1]
Remember back in '99? Oh I
We danced like maniacs all night, oh I
Now the world is turning faster with time
And I'm slowly going out of my mind
Yeah, I, I think we're the same
Yeah, I think we're the same
[Bridge]
And oh-oh, where do we go, oh?
I gotta know, show me your page
'Cause the clock keeps ticking the tock
I ain't gonna stop, no how, no way
[Chorus]
I'm chasing after midnight
Show me the way to your heart
Ready for the start of my real life
To shine like a light in the dark
Waiting for this moment to work right for you
I'm done hesitating
Oh yeah, only got a second to midnight
[Verse 2]
I wonder if you question why, oh I
We left our fantasy behind, oh why? (Oh why?)
Now the world is turning
Faster with time
And I'm slowly going out of my mind
Yeah, I (oh, I)
I think we're the same, yeah
I think we're the same
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Middle-8, spoken]
So love, run, freedom
Go on, get some
Dig (dig) deep (deep), let (let) go (go)
Oh, (oh) oh (oh), oh
[Repeat Chorus]
