Midnight Chemicals

[Verse 1]

You walk in

Like a dare in a leather grin

Lip gloss on my cigarette

I forget who I came here with

Back booth

Plastic crown and your cherry truth

Laughing over all my worst ideas

You say

“Pick one

Let’s use it”

[Pre-Chorus]

We’re too young for quiet

Too loud for sleep

You trace my lifeline

Right up my sleeve

[Chorus]

You’re my midnight chemicals

Running through my veins in the strobes (oh yeah)

Burning like a house on overload

I don’t wanna ever go home

You’re my midnight

Midnight chemicals

Dripping down my throat when we kiss

If this is wrong I’ll stay like this

High on every second we steal

You’re my midnight

Midnight chemicals

[Verse 2]

Cheap shots

Tasting rich when you say “don’t stop”

Name tag on your thrift store coat

You’re a stranger I already know

Name tag on your thrift store coat

You’re a stranger I already know

Spilled drink

On my phone

So we really speak

You say “promise you’ll forget my face”

I say “bet

Now prove it to me”

[Pre-Chorus]

We’re too close for logic

Too far to leave

You press your number

Deep into my jeans

[Chorus]

You’re my midnight chemicals

Running through my veins in the strobes (hey!)

Burning like a house on overload

I don’t wanna ever go home

You’re my midnight

Midnight chemicals

Dripping down my throat when we kiss

If this is wrong I’ll stay like this

High on every second we steal

You’re my midnight

Midnight chemicals

[Bridge]

[Beat half-time

Vocal up front]

Hands on the wall

Breath on my neck

We’re writing a future

We’ll probably forget

Say it again

“Just one more song”

If this is a bad idea

Say it again

“Just one more song”

If this is a bad idea

Why does it feel this strong? (so strong)

[Chorus]

You’re my midnight chemicals

Running through my veins in the strobes

Burning like a house on overload

I don’t wanna ever go home

You’re my midnight

Midnight chemicals

Dripping down my throat when we kiss

If this is wrong I’ll stay like this

High on every second we steal

You’re my midnight

Midnight chemicals

[Outro]

Midnight

Midnight

Stay in my system

Midnight

Midnight

Promise I’ll miss this

Midnight

Midnight

Say you’re addicted

Midnight chemicals

Now you’re in my bloodstream (oh)
