Lost in a Midnight

On the corner of Greenwood and Porter
It's 7:03
Pouring black coffee
Distant daydream
And I'll see shades of Nevada soon enough

Days slip by
Promise to myself becomes a white lie
5:02
Running on fumes
Long list of to-do's
What do I have to lose
If I throw it all away for the Hollywood Hills

I wanna drive
I wanna be forever young
Escape from the real life
Be always on the run
And live for the sunrise
I wanna get lost in a midnight
I wanna get lost
I wanna get lost in a midnight
I wanna get lost

Pass by a palm-reader sign
Ten minutes for a dollar ninety-nine
Will they tell me I'm free from the monotony
And everything I don't know about getting older
Cherry limeade in the cupholder
Hanging onto my youth for a little bit longer

I wanna drive
I wanna be forever young
Escape from the real life
Be always on the run
And live for the sunrise
I wanna get lost in a midnight
I wanna get lost
I wanna get lost in a midnight
I wanna get lost

With somebody's lips on mine
I wanna get lost
Oh, singing "Time After Time"
And when the stars burn out
And they dance in the air
I wanna be there

I wanna be there

I wanna drive

I wanna drive
I wanna be forever young
Escape from the real life
Be always on the run
And live for the sunrise
I wanna get lost in a midnight
I wanna get lost
I wanna get lost in a midnight
I wanna get lost

With somebody's lips on mine
I wanna get lost
Oh, singing "Time After Time"
