[Intro] [Analog arpeggio, slow build] [Verse 1] Streetlights bleeding down the hood Whole town quiet like it should You said meet me where the pavement ends Bring the car and bring no friends [Pre-Chorus] Engine ticking, cooling down Only sound in this whole town [Chorus] It's a quarter to midnight And a quarter mile of you and I Twelve seconds of forever Then the finish and goodbye Quarter to midnight Don't look back, don't look back at the light [Verse 2] Pop-up headlights open slow Like they know where we're gonna go Hand on the shifter, hand on mine Win or lose, we're out of time [Pre-Chorus] Engine ticking, cooling down Only sound in this whole town [Chorus] It's a quarter to midnight And a quarter mile of you and I Twelve seconds of forever Then the finish and goodbye Quarter to midnight Don't look back, don't look back at the light [Bridge] [Synth solo, gated drums] (Ooh, the light, the light) [Outro] Quarter to midnight... Quarter to midnight...
