AFTER MIDNIGHT [Intro — whispered / layered vocals] After midnight… (midnight, midnight) That’s when we come alive… (come alive, come alive) Ooh… Yeah… [Verse 1] Neon dripping down the walls Slow motion when the bassline calls Everybody moving like a dream Nothing’s really what it seems Your eyes catch mine across the room Purple lights, a little perfume Don’t know where the night might go But I don’t wanna know [Background Vocals] (Don’t wanna know…) (Ooh, don’t wanna know…) [Pre-Chorus] The clock hits twelve And something changes We lose ourselves Inside the bass, yeah No more thinking No more waiting Let the music Take us away [Chorus] Everything happens after midnight (After midnight, after midnight) When the whole world fades into the lights (Into the lights, into the lights) We don’t need a reason, we don’t need a plan Just let the rhythm take us where it can Everything happens after midnight (Ooh, after midnight) And I don’t wanna come back to real life (Don’t wanna come back) Let the music run through my mind We’re somewhere between the stars and the night [Post-Chorus — airy vocals] Ooh-ooh, after midnight (After midnight) Ooh-ooh, we come alive (Come alive) Ooh-ooh, after midnight Don’t wake me up tonight [Verse 2] Slow dancing underneath the lasers Lost inside a room full of strangers Everything feels weightless now I don’t even know how The bass is beating in my chest Tonight we don’t need to be our best Just let go and disappear There’s nothing else but here [Background Vocals] (Right here…) (Stay right here…) (Don’t let the moment disappear…) [Pre-Chorus] The clock hits twelve And something changes We lose ourselves Inside the bass, yeah No more thinking No more waiting Let the music Take us away [Chorus] Everything happens after midnight (After midnight, after midnight) When the whole world fades into the lights (Into the lights, into the lights) We don’t need a reason, we don’t need a plan Just let the rhythm take us where it can Everything happens after midnight (Ooh, after midnight) And I don’t wanna come back to real life (Don’t wanna come back) Let the music run through my mind We’re somewhere between the stars and the night [Bridge — stripped down / dreamy] 12:01… (Stay with me) 12:02… (Don’t leave me) Everything’s moving But I’m standing still 1 AM… (Still dreaming) 2 AM… (Still feeling) The night keeps going And I don’t want it to end [Vocal Run] Oohhhhh… (After midnight…) Ahhhh-ah… (Come alive…) Ooh, I could stay here forever… (Forever, forever…) [Final Chorus — huge layered vocals] Everything happens after midnight (After midnight, after midnight) When the whole world fades into the lights (Into the lights, into the lights) We don’t need a reason, we don’t need a plan Just let the rhythm take us where it can Everything happens after midnight (After midnight, yeah) And I don’t wanna come back to real life (Don’t wake me up) Let the music run through my mind We’re somewhere between the stars and the night [Outro — fading vocals] After midnight… (Midnight…) We come alive… (Come alive…) After midnight… (Ooh…) Don’t wake me up… After midnight… Everything feels like euphoria…
