Verse 1
Got a little cash and a half-full tank
No destination, but we left anyway
Streetlights blur when we’re flying past
Everybody says these nights don’t last
You lit a cigarette, never took a drag
Laughing so hard that you threw it back
Whole damn world on airplane mode
Tonight we’re impossible
Pre-Chorus
Don’t tell me slow down
Don’t tell me wait
We’re too young…
To waste
Chorus
WE’RE THE MIDNIGHT KIDS (hey!)
RUNNING RED LIGHTS JUST TO FEEL SOMETHING
WE’RE THE MIDNIGHT KIDS
HEARTS BEATING LOUDER THAN THE DRUMS KICKING
IF THE SUN COMES UP
LET IT FIND US LIKE THIS
SINGING TOO LOUD
WE’RE THE MIDNIGHT KIDS
(Whoa-oh-oh)
Verse 2
Lost one shoe at a house downtown
Still don’t know how we got it back
Somebody climbed up on the roof
Just to yell into the black
Phone keeps dying
Nobody cares
We’re making stories
They’ll never hear
Pre-Chorus
One more mile
One more song
Don’t make tonight
Too short
Chorus
WE’RE THE MIDNIGHT KIDS (hey!)
RUNNING RED LIGHTS JUST TO FEEL SOMETHING
WE’RE THE MIDNIGHT KIDS
HEARTS BEATING LOUDER THAN THE DRUMS KICKING
IF THE SUN COMES UP
LET IT FIND US LIKE THIS
SINGING TOO LOUD
WE’RE THE MIDNIGHT KIDS
Bridge
(Everything drops to just guitar.)
Ten years from now…
We’ll probably laugh about tonight.
(Kick drum starts.)
Or wish…
We never left.
Final Chorus
WE’RE THE MIDNIGHT KIDS (everybody!)
RUNNING LIKE WE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
WE’RE THE MIDNIGHT KIDS
IF YOU’RE ALIVE THEN YOU GOT SOMETHING TO PROVE
HANDS IN THE AIR
DON’T LOOK DOWN
THIS IS OURS
RIGHT FUCKING NOW
