[Verse 1]
You're on my "middle of the night" mind
It sure ain't the first time
I've been loving you all my life
You know it's going to be a long night

[Verse 2]
Ain't no sleeping when your heart breaks
I've been lying here wide awake
It don't tell you how hard it can ache
Just lying in the moonlight with my mistakes

[Verse 3]
You're on my "middle of the night" mind
And, baby, I don't want to cry
I've done enough of that to last me a lifetime
But I've been missing that light in your eyes, oh

[Chorus 1]
How could I have known?
I can feel the lonely
In my bones
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 4]
You're on my "middle of the night" mind
I've been staring at the black sky
For some reason those stars don't shine
The same way since we said goodbye, bye
[Verse 5]
Caravan moving on the train tracks
I can hear it rolling past
Maybe this one's bringing you back
Sometimes I can tell myself that, oh

[Chorus 2]
Truth be be told I know
Somewhere in my soul
You won't come home
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro]
You're on my "middle of the night" mind
Ain't gonna be the last time
I'll be loving you all my life
It's going to be another long night
