Midnight Boy

Red lights, blue smoke,

he walks in late, takes over the show.

Black jacket, dangerous eyes,

everybody turns when he arrives.

They say, “don’t play his game,”

but nobody really understands,

that when he smiles that way,

everything starts to burn.

And I knew it was a mistake,

but danger had a voice I couldn’t shake.

He said, “come on, don’t look behind,”

and I couldn’t break away this time.

Oh, midnight boy,

you come and tear apart control.

Leave invisible marks

right where my heart used to hold.

Midnight boy,

you’re fire wrapped in shades of coal.

Everybody says I should run,

but I keep coming back to your road.

Broken promises under neon lights,

quick kisses, wrongs that feel right.

Always disappears at break of day,

like he was never here anyway.

And once again I fall too deep,

like a secret nobody keeps.

Your shadow follows close behind,

even when I try to leave.

You’re not a hero, you’re not peace,

just a storm that never sleeps.

But when you move across this town,

everything starts shaking now.

Oh, midnight boy,

you come and tear apart control.

Leave invisible marks

right where my heart used to hold…
