Quarter Past Midnight
Verse 1:
City lights are flickering low,
The streets hum a tune only night owls know.
Neon shadows dance on the walls,
Echoes of laughter in empty halls.
I'm chasing ghosts down a one-way street,
Lost in the rhythm of my restless feet.
A clock tower chimes, cuts through the air,
A reminder of time I no longer care.
Pre-Chorus:
The night is young, but fading fast,
Every heartbeat tries to make it last.
This fleeting hour, it feels so right,
Caught in the spell of quarter past midnight.
Chorus:
Quarter past midnight, time slips away,
Holding on tight to the break of day.
In the silence, we come alive,
Quarter past midnight, where dreams survive.
Verse 2:
Broken whispers ride the breeze,
Secrets carried through the rustling trees.
The world's asleep, but we're wide awake,
Every breath a memory we make.
Stars above, they're guiding our way,
Lighting the path, though they never stay.
The darkness pulls, but we don't fight,
We're burning brighter at quarter past midnight.
Pre-Chorus:
The night is ours, it won't come back,
Every second on a fleeting track.
This stolen hour, it feels so right,
Living for the spark of quarter past midnight.
Chorus:
Quarter past midnight, time slips away,
Holding on tight to the break of day.
In the silence, we come alive,
Quarter past midnight, where dreams survive.
Bridge:
Time's a thief, but we don't care,
In this moment, nothing compares.
The world may turn, but we're standing still,
Quarter past midnight bends to our will.
Chorus:
Quarter past midnight, time slips away,
Holding on tight to the break of day.
In the silence, we come alive,
Quarter past midnight, where dreams survive.
Outro:
As the dawn begins to break,
We'll hold on to the risks we take.
Forever caught in that fleeting light,
We'll always remember quarter past midnight.
