Verse 1:

It's a quarter past midnight

As we cut through the city

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the streets are getting restless

Good times, bad decisions

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a quarter past midnight

And the sirens are mending some hearts

But we're the losers on the back seats

Singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart"


Pre-Chorus:

It's a quarter past midnight

Still avoiding tomorrow

It's a quarter past midnight

But we're just getting going


Chorus:

We keep on running

Running through a red light

Like we're trying to burn the night away

Away-way, oh, away-way, oh


Post-Chorus:

This is my favourite part, oh

Help me piece it all together, darling

Before it falls apart, oh

Help me piece it all together


Verse 2:

It's a quarter past midnight

And the speakers are blowing

Yeah, yeah, we want the bodies on the billboards

Not the lives underneath them

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and now we're crawling up the walls again

And it's a quarter past twelve

And you said we'd leave this place in dust

And fall from heaven straight through hell

We never know what we have

We never knew what we had


Chorus:

We keep on running

Running through a red light

Like we're trying to burn the night away

Away-way, oh, away-way, oh

Why are we always chasing after something

Like we're trying to throw our lives away?

Away-way, oh, away-way, oh


Post-Chorus:

This is my favourite part, oh

Help me piece it all together, darling

Before it falls apart, oh

Help me piece it all together


Bridge:

(I can't remember, I can't remember

I can't remember, I can't remember)

It's a quarter past midnight

And the secrets are flowing

Our lips are getting looser

I don't know what I'm saying

We never knew what we had

I never know what I've had


Chorus:

We keep on running

Running through a red light

Like we're trying to burn the night away

Away-way, oh, away-way, oh

Why are we always chasing after something

Like we're trying to throw our lives away?

Away-way, oh, away-way, oh


Post-Chorus:

This is my favourite part so

Help me piece it all together, darling

Before it falls apart

Help me piece it all together
