Lose you in a moment
Will I lose you when it's midnight?
Just might
I don't wanna do it no more
It's not that I'm antisocial
I wonder what I’d have to do for it to be enough
For you to show your true heart
I know how you feel
Present from the break of dawn
Ache from wanting
You been toying
It got boring
If I took you on my arm
Would I lose you?
Country side
I’m by your side
It’s so hard to get by
Without you
Without you
Cross the line
My tears are dry
I see you in my hairs by my side
I miss you so much
I need you
It’s not fair for those ones
Who have a heavy heart
But me it’s daylight here
And there it’s dark
Oh it’s dark
I know how you feel
Present from the break of dawn
Ache from wanting
You been toying
It got boring
If I took you on my arm
Would I lose you?
(So I guess I lost ya)
Do-do-do-do-do-dooo
Oh love, you’re so far away
I just want you back
I don’t need a casket of love
Casket of love
Do you wanna come round
I got a lot to tell you bout
Do you wanna come over
Got a spot for you on my shoulder
We got a secret I can keep
We got a lot to learn and leave
And I won't follow anyone but you

The tone, colours, characters all felt really special to me and prompted me to write about the experience of being with your crush at a house party and the ebb and flow of that game until it’s around midnight wh...
Claire and I have been friends for a couple years now through liking each others music. I’d always thought our voices would work really nicely together. After the first day of making “Midnight” I knew she would sound perfect on the song and really help create a back and forth nature of different cha...
