It's a quarter past midnight As we cut through the city Yeah, yeah, yeah, the streets are getting restless Good times, bad decisions Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a quarter past midnight And the sirens are mending some hearts But we're the losers on our back seats Singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart" It's a quarter past midnight Still avoiding tomorrow It's a quarter past midnight But we're just getting going We keep on running Running through a red light Like we're trying to burn the night away Away-way, oh, away-way, oh This is my favorite part oh Help me piece it all together, darling Before it falls apart oh Help me piece it all together It's a quarter past midnight And the speakers are blowing Yeah, yeah, we want the bodies on the billboards Not the lives underneath them Yeah, yeah, yeah, and now we're crawling up the walls again And it's a quarter past twelve And you said we'd leave this place in dust And fall from heaven straight through hell We never know what we have We never knew what we had We keep on running Running through a red light Like we're trying to burn the night away Away-way, oh, away-way, oh Why are we always chasing after something Like we trying to throw our lives away? Away-way, oh, away-way, oh This is my favorite part oh Help me piece it all together, darling Before it falls apart oh Help me piece it all together (I can't remember, I can't remember) (I can't remember, I can't remember) It's a quarter past midnight And the secrets are flowing Our lips are getting looser I don't know what I'm saying We never knew what we had I never know what I've had We keep on running Running through a red light Like we're trying to burn the night away Away-way, oh, away-way, oh Why are we always chasing after something Like we trying to throw our lives away? Away-way, oh, away-way, oh This is my favorite part so Help me piece it all together, darling Before it falls apart Help me piece it all together
