Anki has explained Midnight in an interview:
Now that the more intimate section of the album is over I really wanted a big hit of energy and a very obvious change of tone to take us into the last stretch and this was the perfect fit. I adore this top line, I wrote in on guitar a very long time ago...
[Intro]
(When the clock hits midnight)
[Verse 1]
Listen to the hearts that beat in sync tonight
Gonna colour rainbows in the sky
Bursting into tears and cries of happiness
It's gonna be the only night we feel alive
[Chorus]
Waiting for nights like this
Where sparks collide and miss
We're lighting up the skies
When the clock hits midnight
A mother by my side
Her lover holds her tight
I felt your hand touch mine
Then the clock hit midnight
[Drop]
(When the clock hits midnight)
(When the clock hits midnight)
(When the clock hits midnight)
[Verse 2]
I can see the spark's reflection through your eyes
Tonight the shades of grey won't see the light
Fire flying high into the paper wind
It's gonna be a memory that never dies
[Chorus]
Waiting for nights like this
When sparks collide and miss
We're lighting up the skies
When the clock hits midnight
A mother by my side
Her lover holds her tight
I felt your hand touch mine
Then the clock hit midnight
[Drop]
(When the clock hits midnight)
(When the clock hits midnight)
(When the clock hits midnight)
[Bridge]
Nothing's on my mind
But I feel just right
We wait for the morning light
For the morning light
Nothing's on my mind
But I feel just right
We wait for the morning light
For the morning light
[Chorus]
Waiting for nights like this
When sparks collide and miss
We're lighting up the skies
When the clock hits midnight
A mother by my side
Her lover holds her tight
I felt your hand touch mine
Then the clock hit midnight
[Drop]
(When the clock hits midnight)
(When the clock hits midnight)
(When the clock hits midnight)
[Outro]
(When the clock hits midnight)
