[Verse 1]
It's a quarter past midnight as we cut through the city, yeah, yeah, yeah
The streets are getting restless, good times, bad decisions, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a quarter past midnight and the sirens are mending some hearts
But we're the losers on the back seats, singing 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a quarter past midnight
Still avoiding tomorrow
It's a quarter past midnight
But we're just getting going

[Chorus]
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away, away-way, oh, away-way, oh-oh
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away, away-way, oh, away-way, oh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
It's a quarter past midnight and the speakers are blowing, yeah, yeah
We want the bodies on the billboards, not the lives underneath them, yeah, yeah, yeah
And now we're crawling up the walls again, and it's a quarter past twelve
And you said we'd leave this place in dust, and fall from heaven straight through hell
We never know what we have, we never knew what we had
[Chorus]
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away, away-way, oh, away-way, oh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Bridge]
This is my favourite part, so help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart, help me piece it all together

[Chorus]
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away, away-way, oh, away-way, oh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro]
Help me piece it all together
