about

Sometimes life happens when the rest of the world is sleeping and sometimes you miss your window, in the chase for something else.

lyrics

Past Midnight
(words J.Tran, S.Gibson music S.Gibson)

(Intro: Dm Am)

Dm
Nothing good ever happens
Am
past midnight so they said
Dm
sat on sofas watching TV
Am
never lived the lives we’ve led
Em
we belong on steps
Am
on freezing airport floors
Em
the entrance to a grand opera house
Am
unguarded lobby doors

C
for so long i hadn’t slept
Am G
and so it began again
C
drowned in familiar streets
Am G Am
with you my fragile friend


nothing good past midnight
well I couldn’t disagree more
they really know so little of us
and what we’ve got in store

I think i missed my window
in the chase for something else
but what I’ve lost in ground I’ve found
in the aimless nights past twelve

Chorus

C, G
for so long x2

(instrumental chorus)

a few missteps later
I remember what they said
nothing good past midnight
but not heading home just yet

we belong on alley curbs
playing cards as cars drift by
east coast parks, desperate pubs
through the cold, lamplit nights

Chorus x2

for so long x 4
