Baby, beware
I got a bad attitude
I'm in a desperate situation
This state of mind is nothin' new

Yeah, I've been watchin' you
And I recognize the style
You use your walk like a weapon, now
I hear the call of the wild

It's not the first time
Won't be the last
You ran from love
But you ran too fast

It's a long walk home after midnight
Storm is coming, better jump on in
It's a long walk home after midnight
Under the cover of love, the long walk ends

I've always faced love with caution
You're the exception to the rule
I feel a powerful temptation
An urgent message overdue

The night, it gives us license
To throw all caution to the wind
'Cause we're the restless generation
We never know when we're content
It's not the first time
Won't be the last
You ran from love
But you ran too fast

It's a long walk home after midnight
Storm is coming, better jump on in
It's a long walk home after midnight
In the shadows is where it begins

It's a long walk home after midnight
Clouds are rising, gonna sink or swim
It's a long walk home after midnight
Under the cover of love

I've known the fear of love
It's shown its face so many times before
I've tasted the tears of love
When bittersweet memories aim for the core
I'll be your cover, that's what I'm here for

It's a long walk home after midnight
Storm is coming, better jump on in
It's a long walk home after midnight
In the shadows is where it begins
It's a long walk home after midnight
The clouds are rising, gonna sink or swim
It's a long walk home after midnight
Under the cover, under the cover of love

It's a long walk home after midnight
Storm is coming, better jump on in
It's a long walk home after midnight
Clouds are rising, gonna sink or swim

It's a long walk home after midnight
