Five Minutes To Midnight Lyrics

Brown eyes and lungs are filled up with smoke
Fast lives are stuck in the undertow
But you know the places I wanna go
'Cause oh-oh-oh
I've got a sickness, you've got the cure
You've got the spunk I've been looking for
And I got a plan, we walk out the door

You know you wanna just let go
It's time to roll down the windows
Sing it, oh-oh-oh
Yeah, all we need, so here we go

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough, shakin' me up, turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop, make your heart drop
And come alive

We could pack up and leave other things behind
No fact or fiction or story line
'Cause I need you more than just for tonight
Your oh-oh-oh
All I care I can't stop my breathing in
I'm weak and you were my medicine
I won't stop 'til I am under your skin

You know you wanna just let go
It's time to roll down the windows
Sing it, oh-oh-oh
Yeah, all we need, so here we go

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough, shakin' me up, turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop, make your heart drop
And come alive

And when the clock strikes twelve
Will you find another boy to go and kiss and tell?
'Cause you know I never will
I think we could strike a match
And hold it to the wind to
See how long it lasts
We can make the time stand still

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough, shakin' me up, turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop, make your heart drop

(And come alive) turn it up
Five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight (me tonight)
I can't get enough, shakin' me up, turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights (city lights)
We'll make the clock stop, make your heart drop
And come alive
