Lyrics of Quarter Past Midnight by Bastille
verse
It's a quarter past midnight
As we cut through the city
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The streets are getting restless
Good times, bad decisions
Yeah, yeah, yeah
verse
It's a quarter past midnight
And the sirens are mending some hearts
But we're the losers on the back seats
Singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
verse
It's a quarter past midnight
Still avoiding tomorrow
It's a quarter past midnight
But we're just getting going
chorus
We keep on running
Running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
chorus
This is my favorite part, oh
Help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart, oh
Help me piece it all together
verse
It's a quarter past midnight
And the speakers are blowing
Yeah, yeah
We want the bodies on the billboards
Not the lives underneath them
Yeah, yeah, yeah
verse
And now we're crawling up the walls again
And it's a quarter past twelve
And you said we'd leave this place in dust
And fall from heaven straight through hell
verse
We never know what we have
We never knew what we had
chorus
We keep on running
Running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
chorus
Why are we always chasing after something
Like we're trying to throw our lives away?
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
chorus
This is my favorite part, oh
Help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart, oh
Help me piece it all together
bridge
(I can't remember, I can't remember)
(I can't remember, I can't remember)
verse
It's a quarter past midnight
And the secrets are flowing
Our lips are getting looser
I don't know what I'm saying
verse
We never knew what we had
Never know what I've had
chorus
We keep on running
Running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
chorus
Why are we always chasing after something
Like we're trying to throw our lives away?
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
chorus
This is my favourite part, oh
Help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart, oh
Help me piece it all together
