Midnight Flight

It's never quite as simple as you felt it was back in the start
It came on like a movie screen the silver scenes of bleeding hearts
You never really feel alone till someone comes and disrupts the dark
Then leaving all the lanterns off you still see spots like dying off stars
You never want to feel this way again, caught in the loose threads
But you have to let them wrap you in the comfort of the end

Come on let's ride the midnight flight
Stay up high just a little bit longer
Hold on, hold off the long goodbye
Stay gone till we're a little bit stronger
I know down low we don't have time
Morning fights back the minute that we come back home
Let's ride the midnight flight
Stay up high just a little bit longer

One instant loves own changing wind can softly lift up then rip down
One minute all you hoped to give gets broken in the crash-land, now
The weight awaiting dark returns, the baggage burned, a silent house
The framing of a million scenes, played back, repeat and fading, fading out
You never want to leave this place again
Afraid of the loose threads
But you have to let them wrap you
And find comfort in the unknown ends

Let's ride the midnight flight
Stay up high just a little bit longer
Hold on, hold off the long goodbye
Stay gone till we're a little bit stronger
I know down low we don't have time
Morning fights back the minute that we come back home
Let's ride the midnight flight
Stay up high just a little bit longer

We're something else when all this falls back down
You're calling home we land alone and now
You need some time, a ride back to a town in the rest of your life

Let's stay up high just a little bit longer
Stay gone till we're a little bit stronger
I know down low we don't have time
Morning fights back the minute that we come back home
Let's ride the midnight flight
Stay up high just a little bit longer
