In this song, the narrator reminisces over bittersweet memories with a former loved one after he hears a song that reminds him of her.
[Verse 1]
Midnight
Another summer in the Midwest
Tell me what the plan is, I'm in
Only a couple months till college
You can tell me all about it
No care
Living in your car with your dog
You were doing anything you wanted
Take a trip out to the pier
I can meet you there
[Chorus]
If I don’t play your song
Then I don't cry no more
If I don't think too hard
It doesn’t last too long
If I don't play your song
Then I don't cry no more
If I don't think too hard
It doesn't last too long
[Verse 2]
You said, "I love you, but I ain't getting much in return"
I need to learn to keep my mouth shut
I need to learn to put you first
Some things are better off
Now, I just spent a few months on the road
I am coming back home to Bedford
Have another Midwest summer
Stay up all night long
[Chorus]
If I don't play your song
Then I don't cry no more
If I don’t think too hard
It doesn’t last too long
If I don't play your song
Then I don’t cry no more
[Verse 3]
Midnight
Another summer in the Midwest
Show me a song you love and
We can ride around and listen to it over and over
I just spent a few months on the road
I am coming back home to Bedford
Although I feel like a stranger a little more every time
[Chorus]
If I don't play your song
Then I don't cry no more
If I don't play your song
Then I don’t cry no more
