G G          
It's a quarter past midnight
C C
As we cut through the city
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
G G
The streets are getting restless
C C
Good times, bad decisions
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
G G
It's a quarter past midnight
C C
And the sirens are mending some hearts
G G
But we're the losers on our back seats
C C
Singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
G G
It's a quarter past midnight
C C
Still avoiding tomorrow
G G
It's a quarter past midnight
C C
But we're just getting going

Chorus:
C C
We keep on running
G G
Running through a red light
D D
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Em Em
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
C C
This is my favorite part oh
G G
Help me piece it all together, darling
D D
Before it falls apart oh
Em Em
Help me piece it all together

G G
It's a quarter past midnight
C C
And the speakers are blowing
(Yeah, yeah)
G G
We want the bodies on the billboards
C C
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

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 trying to throw our lives away?
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh

This is my favorite part oh
Help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart oh
Help me piece it all together

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

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 trying to throw our lives away?
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh

This is my favorite part so
Help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart
Help me piece it all together

About this song: Quarter Past Midnight

‘Quarter Past Midnight’ is about trying to capture that moment of a night out,” frontman Dan Smith says in a press release. “Some people are gonna go home; for some this is just the beginning. It became about being in someone's car, driving through the city. I wanted to try and capture that sense of excitement, and that rush.”“It’s way easier to escape in the night time,” Smith adds. “Places that aren’t normally open are open to the world, and the places that you associate with reality and work are all shut down.
