Things have changed; my chemicals have shifted
I'm a different person every time we meet
I'm caught in a trap like a rabbit on a track
It's an angry attack, left a scar on my back
And here's my real sad story
He was 5'6 with a sentimental crucifix
Hanging down his neck
She was sweet sixteen in her first limousine
And his hand slipped around her back
They arrived on the scene
Like the king and queen
Of the prom that couldn't last
Did we ever really have a chance?
We are midnight, on a fast ride
Held a ticket in our hands for anywhere
Out of our minds; thought we could fly
But as the morning comes we start to disappear
Why are we so quick to let our innocence go?
So nobody told me 'til it's only the lonely
A classic case, yeah a sorry story
And my story etches on
She's a smart-talking girl with a chip on her shoulder
And she's got a little game to play
Meets a shell of a man in a rock and roll band
And he can't let her slip away
The only time they're satisfied
Is when they're on the chase
But will we ever really get away?
We are midnight, we are last night
Got a ticket out of town with no return
We're on no time, we can't rewind
But as the morning comes, we start to disappear
And we won't keep up with this pace another year
Will we ever really get a break?
We are midnight, in a fistfight
We got a taste of what it's like to be alive
All alone now, don't wanna come down
But as the morning comes we start to disappear
Disappear
So let it all ride, 'cause we are midnight
