The inspiration for the song “Midnights” comes from a universal experience: a man thinking about the girl he likes late at night, unable to sleep because of his feelings for her. The lyrics I wrote is to evoke the emotions and atmosphere of this scenario, capturing the sense of hoping and reflection that can be so intense in the quiet hours of the night.
[instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
On the street corner, her smile caught the light,
Asked how I'm doing, I said "I'm alright."
But my heart knew it was a lie,
Since we parted, the days just defy.
[Chorus]
Midnight memories, they flood the scene,
Your 'hello' haunts like a dream.
I say I'm fine, but it's just a show,
In the midnight hour, my true colors glow.
[Verse 2]
On my couch, lost in the past's twine,
It’s 2 AM, the world's lost its shine.
The stars outside may be alight,
But here I am, in the deepest of nights.
[Pre-Chorus]
The night's embrace, a bittersweet fight,
You're gone, yet in my heart, you ignite.
[Chorus]
Midnight memories, they flood the scene,
Your 'hello' haunts like a dream.
I say I'm fine, but it's just a show,
In the midnight hour, my true colors glow.
[Bridge]
The past rushes back, so vivid, so near,
In the still of the night, I wish you were here.
Our shared laughter, our tears, the love we dared,
In midnight's shadow, those moments we shared.
[Chorus]
Midnight memories, they flood the scene,
Your 'hello' haunts like a dream.
[Outro]
I lie awake, to the past I leap,
Until midnights fade, in dreams, we meet.
I'll meet you in my dream, in the midnights.
[End]
