1. Midnight Boy

Midnight Boy
(verse 1)
running freely through the streets
staying on the edge of seats
always having bad thoughts on my mind
dancing on the edge of knives
playing games with our lives
the invincibility of youth keeps us in a bind

(chorus)
a midnight boy at play is like a wild stray
I told you to, I told you to keep yourself at bay
this smile on my face is the first warning
life is beautiful only for the young
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
falling in love willingly
lies spread during a party
these feelings surely will end badly
whispering to them sweetly
"midnight's coming soon, baby"
under the fall of dark, they'll make a move
it's not like that
they scream out
being misunderstood is a way of life
and then when they strike out
words don't fix a thing

shadows

(chorus)
a midnight boy cornered is not a coward
you told me, you told me to wander discreetly
these streets at night are a wonderful sight
being ourselves like this is a fresh breath
(end chorus)

(bridge)
running freely through the streets
staying on the edge of seats
always having bad thoughts on my mind
dancing on the edge of knives
playing games with our lives
the invincibility of youth keeps us in a bind

don't do that, don't be mad
they're not all that bad
before the day breaks
let's raise the stakes

shadows

(chorus)
a midnight boy at play is like a wild stray
I told you to, I told you to keep yourself at bay
this smile on my face is the first warning
life is beautiful only for the young
(end chorus)

(chorus)
a midnight boy cornered is not a coward
you told me, you told me to wander discreetly
these streets at night are a wonderful sight
being ourselves like this is a fresh breath
(end chorus)

(ending)
a beautiful night
only for me
a beautiful night
only for me
