[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
I can't get my feet up off the edge
I kinda like the little rush you get
When you're standing close to death
Like when you're driving me crazy
Hold on as we crash into the earth
A bit of pain will help you suffer
When you're hurt, for real
'Cause you were driving me crazy
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Bite your lips, your words a robbery
Do you grin inside? You're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kinda think that we won't get better
It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away
Did you know? I'm here to stay
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
I can't keep your voice out of my head
All I hear are the many echoes of
The darkest words you said
And it's driving me crazy
I can't find the best in all of this
But I'm always looking out for you
Cause you're the one I miss
And it's driving me crazy
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Bite your lips, your words a robbery
Do you grin inside? You're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kinda think that we won't get better
It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away
Did you know? I'm here to stay
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
After Midnight was written by Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus & Travis Barker.
After Midnight was produced by blink-182.
blink-182 released After Midnight on Tue Sep 06 2011.
The song originated from an idea by drummer Travis Barker, and the song was initially titled “Travis Beat”. When the trio first listened to the beat, DeLonge and Hoppus both had ideas immediately. They stated in an Alternative Press Issue that:
It was one of those moments on the album where everybo...
Mark Hoppus told MTV News:
We went through probably 30 different treatments for this video, and a lot of them were great, and a lot of them weren’t so great but Isaac’s stuck out as a really cool idea. We wanted it to be something different than just a bunch of people having fun and having a party;...
