Countdown to Midnight 2 (versión 2)

Verse 1

Fourteen turns around this old clock tower

You're standing on the edge of town now and I'm left staring at nothing more

A quarter till you said goodbye, you took a step back slow

Leaving me with this empty sidewalk where we used to go

The diner's closed, their neon sign is still lit bright

I'm watching every star come up in that dark blue light

We made it through the summer, every night was our own

Now I don't know if you're chasing down a dream or running home

Pre-Chorus

Tell me where did we go wrong? Was it something I said or not at all?

Countdown to midnight but your clock is ticking slower than mine after all

Chorus

Countdown to midnight, that's how long it takes

For the silence to turn loud and my heart to break

You're counting down to something else tonight

But for me this is just the start of a long and endless fight

Countdown to midnight, I can hear you in my chest

Every heartbeat says we weren't done yet

We were two fireflies on the wrong side of town

And now it's just me standing here waiting for a sound

Verse 2

I'm driving by your favorite diner where we used to go

Your picture's still stuck up high on that same old door though

It's not like I didn't see it coming from miles away

But saying goodbye is harder than living another day

The sun is coming up now, painting the whole town gold

Every window says you're not there but this isn't the end of our story yet to be told

I'm still holding on to every word we ever spoke

Wish I could go back in time and rewrite what I'd say for your sake

Pre-Chorus

Tell me where did we go wrong? Was it something I said or not at all?

Countdown to midnight but your clock is ticking slower than mine after all

Chorus

Countdown to midnight, that's how long it takes

For the silence to turn loud and my heart to break

You're counting down to something else tonight

But for me this is just the start of a long and endless fight

Countdown to midnight, I can hear you in my chest

Every heartbeat says we weren't done yet

We were two fireflies on the wrong side of town

And now it's just me standing here waiting for a sound

Bridge

Maybe someday you'll come back around

With your heart full up and your feet on solid ground

I'll be right here, same old spot in time

Waiting for the day when we turn this clock back to mine

Chorus

Countdown to midnight, that's how long it takes

For the silence to turn loud and my heart to break

You're counting down to something else tonight

But for me this is just the start of a long and endless fight

Countdown to midnight, I can hear you in my chest

Every heartbeat says we weren't done yet

We were two fireflies on the wrong side of town

And now it's just me standing here waiting for a sound
