  • 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 our 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-way, oh, away-way, 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 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

    We keep on running
    Running through a red light
    Like we're trying to burn the night away
    Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
    Why are we always chasing after something
    Like we trying to throw our lives away?
    Away-way, oh, away-way, 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
    I 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-way, oh, away-way, oh
    Why are we always chasing after something
    Like we trying to throw our lives away?
    Away-way, oh, away-way, oh

    This is my favorite part so
    Help me piece it all together, darling
    Before it falls apart
    Help me piece it all together Writer/s: Daniel Smith, Mark Crew
