[Verse 1] I saw you underneath the exit sign Laughing like you knew the night was mine Everybody moved like smoke and glass I was watching every stranger pass You had one hand wrapped around your drink Looking like you knew what I would think Not a word, but something crossed the room Like a match struck in a hotel room [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know your name But I know that look I’ve seen it in the windows Of every train I took [Chorus] You’ve got midnight eyes Looking through the light Like you know where I’ve been Like you know me tonight You’ve got midnight eyes Dark as city wine And I should look away But you’re already on my mind [Verse 2] There’s a girl standing by the door She looks like me from a year before Waiting for a reason or a sign Waiting for a hand to cross a line I had water, then I wanted wine I had daylight, then I lost the time I had one last train I meant to catch But the platform disappeared like that [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t trust the dark But I trust it more than day ’Cause the morning asks me questions That the night just lets me say [Chorus] You’ve got midnight eyes Looking through the light Like you know where I’ve been Like you know me tonight You’ve got midnight eyes Dark as city wine And I should look away But you’re already on my mind [Post-Chorus] Midnight, midnight Don’t let the bright lights find me Midnight, midnight Keep your shadow beside me [Bridge] Maybe you’re a warning Maybe you’re a dare Maybe I’m just tired Of pretending I don’t care Maybe you’re the fever Maybe I’m the flame Maybe by the morning I won’t even know your name But right now there’s music And your hand is near mine And the whole room disappears At a quarter to midnight [Chorus] You’ve got midnight eyes Looking through the light Like you know where I’ve been Like you know me tonight You’ve got midnight eyes Dark as city wine And I should look away But you’re already on my mind [Final Chorus / Outro] You’ve got midnight eyes Burning soft and low Like the last train leaving Somewhere I can’t go You’ve got midnight eyes And the room turns blue I was almost leaving Then I looked at you [Outro] Midnight, midnight Don’t let the bright lights find me Midnight, midnight Keep your shadow beside me Midnight, midnight I was almost gone Midnight, midnight Now the night goes on
