Midnight
Lachi James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hand in hand,
I've waited here for you to see...
Face to face, you whisper to me
All of your fantasies

I want you in my arms,
So don't let go and hold onto midnight
Here I'll keep you safe from harm
Don't let go and hold onto midnight

Heart to heart,
Confide away your innocence
Naivety exposed to me,
Overloading all of my senses

I want you in my arms,
So don't let go and hold onto midnight




Here I'll keep you safe from harm
Don't let go and hold onto midnight
