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)
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"
It's a quarter past midnight, still avoiding tomorrow
It's a quarter past midnight, but we're just getting going
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
This is my favorite part, oh
Help me piece it all together darling
Before it falls apart, oh
Help me piece it all together
It's a quarter past midnight and the speakers are blowing (yeah, yeah)
We want the bodies on my billboards, not the lives underneath them (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And now we're crawling up the walls again and it's a quarter past the world
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
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
Why we always chasing after something
Like we trying to throw our lives away
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
This is my favorite part, oh
Help me piece it all together darling
Before it falls apart, oh
Help me piece it all together
I can't remember, I can't remember
I can't remember, I can't remember
It's a quarter past midnight and the secrets are flowing
Our lips are getting looser, I don't know what I'm saying
We never knew what we had, never know what I've had
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
Why we always chasing after something
Like we trying to throw our lives away
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
This is my favorite parts, oh
Help me piece it all together darling
Before it falls apart, oh
Help me piece it all together
