The Chase
Kids At Midnight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

nooo ohhhh
well it's not clear
why I'm standing here
why'd you leave me here alone?
and it's not right
I thought I had tonight
why'd leave me here alone?
cause my heart is shutting down
and it's not fair
You drive to despair
Why'd you leave me here alone?
but still I'm looking 'round
and you can't be found
Why'd you leave me here alone?
Cause my heart is shutting down
Oh but my head keeps racing
ohhhh I'm not tired
But I gotta keep chasing the time
ohhhh I won't stand just to fall
ohhhh your mine
but i gotta keep chasing the time
and I won't stand just to fall
nooo ohhhh and it's the truth
That I'd be with you
but you'd leave me here alone
and so this night wont you make it right
don't you leave me here alone
Cause my heart is shutting down
oh but head keeps racin'
Ohhhh I'm not tired
But I gotta keep chasing the time
ohhhh i won't stand just to fall
ohhhh your mine




but I gotta keep chasing the time
ohhhh I won't stand just to fall
