Midnight Lyrics

[Intro: All]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1: All, Luke, Luke & Calum]
(Hey!) Why you actin' like a stranger
(Hey!) When we do this every night?
(Hey!) Can we get a little closer
(Hey!) Even though you're not that type?

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus: All]
You only ever wanna love me after midnight
You only ever wanna love me after midnight
I've never seen you in the daylight
Because you only ever wanna love me after midnight
But it's better than nothin'


[Verse 2: All, Luke & Calum]
(Hey!) Your emotion's under pressure
(Hey!) When I ask for somethin' more
(Hey!) I take the chances that I'm given
(Hey!) 'Cause I'm desperately all yours
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus: All]
You only ever wanna love me after midnight
You only ever wanna love me after midnight
I've never seen you in the daylight
Because you only ever wanna love me after midnight
But it's better than nothin'


[Bridge: All, Ashton & Calum]
I wish you were here everywhere that I go
I wish you were here everywhere that I go
I wish you were here (Wish you were here)
Everywhere (Wish you were here) that I go

[Chorus: All]
You only ever wanna love me after midnight
You only ever wanna love me after midnight
I've never seen you in the daylight
Because you only ever wanna love me after midnight
But it's better than nothin'


[Outro: Ashton & Calum]
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
