Midnight

Getting closer to midnight and the pictures on the wall

Are staring at me like I'm not alone at all

Pretending it's alright, but I hear the voices call

They're knocking at my door and laughing down the hall

Every time it goes quiet, I know I'm not alone

But when the sun goes down, I'm surrounded by the unfamiliar sounds

And if I close my eyes, I can hold my breath until the morning light

Oh, oh, ooh, ooh

I wait till it's over, till the sun is in the sky

To wash away the tears that stain these frightened eyes

Every time things go quiet, I know I must stay calm

But when the sun goes down, I'm surrounded by the unfamiliar sounds

And if I close my eyes, I can hold my breath until the morning light

Oh, oh, ooh, ooh
