Zach Schill - Midwest Nights Lyrics

My legs are screaming 'cause you made us hike all this way
To a street corner dollar store
In order to buy snacks and drinks that we'll tuck away
'Cause the theater's all cost more

And having money isn't something we pride ourselves
If you wanted cash then you would be dating someone else
But no you're with me and it feels great
Past midnight, Midwest nights up late

Your mom is calling since she just found out you aren't home
Surprised it took her this long
You're getting fed up with it so you just turn off your phone
'Cause either way you're in the wrong

She should know that you'd be home if you wanted to
But it's more fun to lay in the woods and stare up at the moon
All alone with me and it feels great
Past midnight, Midwest nights up late

The railroad tracks lay dormant tonight behind where your dad lives
We're still finding courage to break its one-point perspective
By hoping on a freight car so that we're far, far bound
Or die trying whatever will get us out of this town

You can see the clouds in the distance that are bringing a storm
Just one more reason for us to keep each other warm
Stuck in the rain with you and it feels great
Past midnight, Midwest nights up late
