Pulse Of Midnight

Verse

Your hand finds mine through the smoke machine haze

Sixteen summers and all we need is this

Ice cream truck and a sidewalk full of laughter

Chasing stars like they'll turn into wishes

Every sparkler lit up like it's magic

Nobody here remembers what time is

Radio static, but we don't care about that

This feeling never gets old on the first ride

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why do I feel this way every year

Why do fireworks make me cry a little bit of happiness

Is it just the spark or something more than fireflies

Can you feel it too or is it just me tonight?

Chorus

It's the pulse of midnight, taking over my chest

Every color bursting like it was made for us

Hands up so high we're chasing something better

This feeling never fades 'cause summer lives in us

Verse

Sneakers worn thin from running through sprinklers

Neon on the boardwalk where our names still shine

Freeze-dried ice cream and a Ferris wheel that spins slower

Every heartbeat matches the speed of the ride

You laughed so loud it scared off a stray cat

Saltwater tangled in your hair like you own this beach

I caught you staring from across the crowd
