Hold On to Midnight (versión 2)

Verse

Four a.m. and the whole town sleeps

Radio static where my voice still bleeds

Windows fogged from a hundred miles of road

Your scarf left behind on the backseat floor

I'm counting exits like they're falling stars

Every mile just pulls us further from the scars

Pre-Chorus

So let's drive this light into the dark

Let the highway swallow up every mark

Can you hear it calling, low and loud?

Something breaking free out of both our crowds

Chorus

We're holding on to midnight like it's all we own

Hands up high where the headlights glow

Nothing left behind that we can't forgive tonight

Hold on to midnight, hold on tight

Every shadow turns into a thousand lights

You and me against the black of night

Keep driving till the sky forgets its gray

We'll paint the whole horizon gold by dawn tomorrow, okay

Verse

Diner coffee, your hand in mine through static hum

Clock radio whispers what our hearts already know — we're done with running from the sun

Some towns we left behind still calling out my name

But every mile erased a little of the pain

Gas station attendant waves like he knows the score

I tell him ghosts don't carry over into tomorrow's door

Pre-Chorus

So let's drive this light into the dark

Let the highway swallow up every mark

Can you hear it calling, low and loud?

Something breaking free out of both our crowds

Chorus

We're holding on to midnight like it's all we own

Hands up high where the headlights glow

Nothing left behind that we can't forgive tonight

Hold on to midnight, hold on tight

Every shadow turns into a thousand lights

You and me against the black of night

Keep driving till the sky forgets its gray

We'll paint the whole horizon gold by dawn tomorrow, okay

Bridge

Maybe someday this road will fade like smoke

And maybe that's when we let go of every coat

But tonight it's ours alone to keep on burning bright

No ghosts back home are going to scare us off the light

Chorus

We're holding on to midnight like it's all we own

Hands up high where the headlights glow

Nothing left behind that we can't forgive tonight

Hold on to midnight, hold on tight

Every shadow turns into a thousand lights

You and me against the black of night

Keep driving till the sky forgets its gray

We'll paint the whole horizon gold by dawn tomorrow, okay
