Midnight Dreams Lyrics

[Intro]
Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams

[Verse 1]
Got a secret place inside my head
You're the weakness I ain't over yet
Invisible string pullin' me into you
Fallin' deep, push me to the edge
Got a power that I can't control
Heart beats faster when we movin' slow

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me, let's fly away
Midnight dreams
Every time you're next to me
(Midnight dreams)

[Chorus]
All I think about
You're my energy
Feel you all around
Electricity
Take me, let's fly away
Midnight dreams
Every time you're next to me
(Midnight dreams)
All I think about (Think about)
You're my energy (Energy)
Feel you all around (All around)
Electricity
Take me, let's fly away
Midnight dreams
Every time you're next to me
(Midnight dreams)
[Verse 2]
Body rolling, wanna press your luck
Grabbin' onto every inch of us
The feeling gets bigger at night
I remember you right when the morning comes
Baby, close ain't even close enough
Could the real thing ever measure up?

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me, let's fly away
Midnight dreams
Every time you're next to me
(Midnight dreams)

[Chorus]
All I think about
You're my energy
Feel you all around
Take me, let's fly away
Midnight dreams
Every time you're next to me
(Midnight dreams)
You're all I think about (All I think about)
You're my energy (You're my energy)
Feel you all around (Feel you all around)
Electricity
Take me, let's fly away
Midnight dreams
Every time you're next to me (Hey)
[Bridge]
Take me to another dimension
Drive me to the edge of the world
When I'm with you, time's never-ending
Pullin' me right back down to earth
I love the way you got me reflectin' (Reflectin')
Out in every direction
Every time you're next to me
(Midnight dreams)

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me, let's fly away
Midnight dreams
Every time you're next to me
(Every time you're next to me)

[Chorus]
All I think about (All I think about)
You're my energy (You're my energy)
Feel you all around (Feel you all around)
Electricity
Take me, let's fly away (Fly away)
Midnight dreams
Every time you're next to me
(Midnight dreams)

What did Ellie Goulding say about "Midnight Dreams"?

I made this one with Koz [Stephen Kozmeniuk]—he did the track and we did the lyrics together. It’s about the dream of love and fire and passion and infatuation. It’s about that all-encompassing feeling when love takes over you and you’re living in this dream world.
