Midnight
maxwell young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will I lose you when it's midnight?
Just might
I don't wanna do it no more
It's not that I'm antisocial
I wonder what I'd have to do for it to be enough
For you to show your true heart
Present from the break of dawn
Ache from wanting
You been toying
It got boring
If I took you on my arm
Would I lose you?
Country side
I'm by your side
It's so hard to get by
Without you
Without you
Cross the line
My tears are dry
I see you in my hairs by my side
I miss you so much
I need you
It's not fair for those ones
Who have a heavy heart
But me it's daylight here
And there it's dark
Oh it's dark
I know how you feel
Present from the break of dawn
Ache from wanting
You been toying
It got boring
If I took you on my arm
Would I lose you?
(So I guess I lost you)
Do-do-do-do-do-dooo
Oh love, you're so far away
I just want you back
I don't need a casket of love
Casket of love
Do you wanna come round
I got a lot to tell you bout
Do you wanna come over
Got a spot for you on my shoulder
We got a secret I can keep
We got a lot to learn and leave
And I won't follow anyone but you
The lyrics of Maxwell Young’s “Midnight” reflect a sense of anxiety and vulnerability that is compounded by the uncertainty of what the other person in the relationship is thinking and feeling. The opening lines, “Lose you in a moment / Will I lose you when it's midnight? / Just might,” suggest that the singer is worried that their relationship may come to an end at any given moment - even as soon as midnight. The lyrics further explore this theme of uncertainty and ambiguity throughout the song. The line, “I wonder what I'd have to do for it to be enough / For you to show your true heart,” suggests that the singer is unsure of what they need to do to get the other person to open up and show their true feelings.
The chorus, “I know how you feel / Present from the break of dawn / Ache from wanting / You been toying / It got boring,” suggests a similar sense of ambiguity in the other person's feelings towards the singer. On one hand, they seem to want the singer around, but on the other hand, they have been “toying” with the singer’s emotions for so long that it’s become “boring.” The line, “If I took you on my arm, would I lose you?” highlights the singer’s fear of losing the person they care about - even if they take the risk of opening up and getting closer.

Life is difficult without you
Cross the line
Take a risk

I've cried so much, I can't cry anymore
I see you in my hairs by my side
I imagine you being here with me
I miss you so much

Oh love, you're so far away
Our relationship is distant
I just want you back
I want to reconcile with you
I don't need a casket of love
I don't need a grand gesture, just your love
Do you wanna come round
Do you want to visit me?
I got a lot to tell you bout
I have so much to share with you
Do you wanna come over
Do you want to spend time with me?
Got a spot for you on my shoulder
I'm here to support you
We got a secret I can keep
We have a shared secret
We got a lot to learn and leave
We have much to experience and let go of
And I won't follow anyone but you
I choose you above all others
(So I guess I lost you)
I lost you, didn't I?
