Twenty Seconds After Midnight Lyrics

It's twenty seconds after midnight

The day is barely born

The canvas of the morning sits awaiting

The colors of a world that love is torn

It's twenty seconds after midnight

And yesterday is gone

The fire has burned to ashes

And melted towards the dawn

It's twenty seconds after midnight

The earth is not at peace

We're headed toward tomorrow

Nobody signed a lease

It's twenty seconds after midnight

And no one can decide

If the trip is worth the plane fare

Or the journey's worth the ride

It's twenty seconds after midnight

And the passion wants to drip

From the corners of my eyeballs

And the edge of someone's lip

It's twenty seconds after midnight

Not sure where this is heading

Halfway into paradise

Or back to Armageddon

It's twenty seconds after midnight

Too late to change the past

Some dreams go on forever

And some things never last

It's twenty seconds after midnight

Too late to reset the clock

Hickory dickory dickory dickory dickory dickory dock

It's twenty seconds after midnight

The night can barely breath

You there on the altar

Crying on my sleeve

It's twenty seconds after midnight

Not that much that I want to do

Couldn't live by myself all alone

But I found out I couldn't live with you

It's twenty seconds after midnight

And the day is barely born

The canvass of the night keeps exploding

In a world where love is torn

It's twenty seconds after midnight
