Midnight
Tom Middleton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't wait till this day is over
Can't wait for this day to be done
Can't wait feel the end is closer
You can't keep me holding on
'Cause I'm drown by a feeling
The night is calling me
I'm ready to start living
Where music flows free

Take me or leave me
I am what I will be
Live young and so free
Make this reality
Break through and feel it
Just like that first kiss
And now you won't miss
Life is bliss, could bliss be this? yeaaaah

Midnight, the real me
I'm shining oh! can't you see?
Midnight, I'm letting myself go
I'm lost in the rhythm
The night takes control

Can't get up I must come down
Can't get the bells to stop ringing
Can't reject and leave now
9 to 5 has lost its meaning
Dear I'm sure you know this feeling
You know what's on my mind
'Cause when the night comes I'm leaving
Leaving it all behind

Take me or leave me
I am what I will be
Live young and so free
Make this reality
Break through and feel it
Just like that first kiss
And now you want this
Life is bliss, could bliss be this? Yeah

Midnight, the real me
I'm shining oh! can't you see?
Midnight, I'm letting myself go




I'm lost in the rhythm
The night takes control

Tom is actually wearing a Tshirt that says “ I ❤ T.S “ 😢

@visionary_kid

how pure he is😭❤️

@tac-os2970

And the funniest part is that later one RDJ went on to poke fun at it and Tom just laughed it off. It does suck that she led him on especially when he at that age when he started taking relationships more seriously. I mean her really loved her a lot you can see it , but it’s too bad he had to take an step down to be genuinely happy, I guess it’s for the best right.

@mrwatney3236

it was supposed to be T. S for Tony Stark. He mentioned in some interview

@ryliegarcia.

@Mr Watney sir. he obviously only said that drive speculation away. dont u think taylor would know what it was for? if it was for tony she wouldnt have made her backup dancers in her music video wear a similar shirt.

@paigesands1512

He responded in an interview about that shirt while they were still dating he did not choose to put that shirt on I can't remember exactly but something happened to his shirt and that's all there was on their trip so he put it on as a joke and then it got all this photography and they thought he was super hyped on her I mean and clearly he cared about her but the shirt did not have nearly as much meaning as people put on it still and feeling really bad for him I think yeah she definitely like broke his heart but that is not what the midnight rain is about it's about Taylor Lautner for sure I just think it's so funny that Swifty still think about that shirt find the interview tom you guys. Literally put the shirt on as a joke and just kept it on.
