Years & Years
A Second to Midnight (Demo)
[Verse 1]
Talking sense to your feelings
It's time to lay a couple demons to rest, yeah
It's pathological dreaming
You gotta get some sense back into your head
You're fast becoming older and older everyday
Do you remember yourself in a different way?
Cause I think we're the same way, you and I, yeah
I think we're the same, mm
[Pre-Chorus]
Two years and our broken mirror
I guess I still believe the signs (Ooh-ooh)
I feel likе I've changed
I feel it, but I'm running out of time
[Chorus]
I'm chasin' aftеr 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 hesitatin'
Oh yeah, only got a second to midnight
[Interlude]
(Show me the way to your heart)
Ooh
[Verse 2]
Analytical creepin'
My body's meltin' into some other shape, oh
I'm losin' touch without reason
I'm like an animal who wants to be caged
It's just like me to let someone else tell me who I am
That's a joke, what a keeper, you gentlemen
Oh my, I gotta get myself in line, oh I
I gotta try, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Two years and our broken mirror
I guess I still believe the signs (Ooh-ooh)
I feel like I've changed, I feel it but I'm runnin' out of time
[Chorus]
I'm chasin' 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, oh yeah
I'm done hesitatin'
Oh yeah, only got a second to midnight
[Bridge]
Show me the way to your heart
'Cause I'm ready for the start of my real life
To shine like a light in the dark
I've been waiting for this moment to arrive
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I'm done hesitatin' (Oh, oh yeah)
Only got a second to midnight, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Show me the way to your heart
Ready for the start of my real life (Of my real life)
To shine like a light in the dark (Gonna shine)
Waiting for this moment to work right for you, oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I'm done hesitatin' (Oh)
Oh yeah, only got a second to midnight
