We Made It To Midnight

Verse

Paper cups and porch light static

Your engine humming in the driveway

Confetti stuck like frost on gravel

We already said the hard goodbyes

Twelve dollar fireworks from the corner store

Popping colors on your windshield glass

I'm memorizing how this moment feels

Before the new year eats the past

Pre-Chorus

So what if the clock keeps turning

What if the road pulls you away

Can we hold on to the burning

Just a little more before the day

Chorus

We made it to midnight

Standing in the cold like we own the sky

Kiss goodbye to the year that made us

Walk on into the light

We made it to midnight

Nothing's ending, everything's alive

Same old stars, brand new reasons

We made it to midnight

Verse

Your suitcase by the front door waiting

Snow is falling soft on tired shoulders

I keep this ticket stub for later

Proof that we were even bolder

The radio counts down to nothing

Static breaking into cheers

I'm not scared of what comes after

I've got you for one more year

Pre-Chorus

So what if the clock keeps turning

What if the road pulls you away

Can we hold on to the burning

Just a little more before the day

Chorus

We made it to midnight

Standing in the cold like we own the sky

Kiss goodbye to the year that made us

Walk on into the light

We made it to midnight

Nothing's ending, everything's alive

Same old stars, brand new reasons

We made it to midnight

Bridge

Maybe leaving isn't losing

Maybe this is just the spark

Every ending's just a doorway

Lit up brighter than the dark

I'll carry you in every mile marker

Every town that lights my way

Chorus

We made it to midnight

Standing in the cold like we own the sky

Kiss goodbye to the year that made us

Walk on into the light

We made it to midnight

Nothing's ending, everything's alive

Same old stars, brand new reasons

We made it to midnight
