Midnight
Cameron and the Slumberknights Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Midnight, naked, in the woods, hey
Running against the moon, the world
Fresh breath, cold sweat, dreaming of what could, hey
Stars in our eyes, crazy and slightly wild, we should
You can Breathe Heat on me, hey
You can Breathe Heat on me, hey
Dark haze underneath the bed sheets, mmm
Wild hearts racing, ripping clothes with our teeth

Waste no more time, you can read between my lines
Body, Heart and Soul, all yours, take control
You can Breathe Heat on me, hey
You can Breathe Heat on me, hey
We can be our own sun
That's how I know you're the one, hey
The one, the one
The one, the one
Now all I need, now all I need, is you
(The one, hey hey, the one, hey hey)
All you need, now all you need, is me
(The one, hey hey, the one, hey hey)
You can Breathe Heat on me, hey
You can Breathe Heat on me, hey

We can be our own sun
That's how I know you're the one
