[Verse 1]
Midnight asks me to be what I'm not
Have I already forgotten?
You were in your swimsuit
Wearing one yellow sock
Your mind full of worms
And I wonder if mine is not
[Verse 2]
Midnight asks me to get out of bed
Take the low-lit road to the trailhead
Strips the clothes from my body
Run naked til I am spent
Always thought things would change
Now I wonder if they did
[Chorus]
How many, how many times have I wandered?
How many, how many drives have I made through the dark?
How many, how many times...
Eyes on the sides of the road
I don’t wanna die tonight (Eyes, eyеs, eyes, eyеs, eyes)
[Verse 3]
Midnight comes and I'm ready to fight
Reach my hand towards the table but there's no light
So I’m crawling in the kitchen
Listening for some kind of sign
I believe it gets better but who am I to think that I'm right?
[Chorus]
How many, how many times have I wandered?
How many, how many drives have I made through the dark?
How many, how many times...
Eyes on the sides of the road
I don't wanna die tonight (Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes)
Eyes on the sides of the road
I don't wanna die tonight (Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes)
Eyes on the sides of the road
I don't wanna die tonight (Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes)
