After Midnight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere to go
Many years ago
Would you allow? Could you allow?
That's what they're like
Uh, did you look? Did you look?
Heavenly, heavenly sort of sounds adolescent
Well, I told you not, not to look from the start
When the sun is almost gone, it's way too much

[Chorus]
Enough said, enough sense, it's unconventional
When the sun is almost gone, it's not enough
Suddenly, finally, without a yell, I'll listen
Ooh, that's what we're like in broad daylight
Ooh, soon, you'll realize it's after midnight

[Verse 2]
My memoriеs, souvenirs, some originals
High up in the rows
Idolizеd, canonized
That morning rise
I told you not, I told you not
No veneer behind the mirror, did you call from a distance?
Well, I told you not, not to look from this side
When the sun is almost gone, it's way too much
[Chorus]
Enough said, enough sense, it's unconventional
When the sun is almost gone, it's not enough
Suddenly, finally, without a yell, I'll listen
Ooh, that's what we're like in broad daylight
Ooh, soon, you'll realize it's after midnight

[Bridge]
Listen, it's illicit
Listen, listen, it's illicit
Listen, listen, it's illicit
Listen, listen, listen
Listen, it's illicit
Listen, listen, it's illicit
Listen, listen, it's illicit
Listen, listen, listen

[Outro]
Ooh, that's what we're like in broad daylight
Ooh, soon, you'll realize it's after midnight

How to Format Lyrics:
