Bastille
Quarter Past Midnight (One Eyed Jack’s Session)
[Verse 1]
It's a quarter past midnight as we cut through the city, yeah, yeah, yeah
The streets are getting restless
Good times, bad decisions, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a quarter past midnight and the sirens are mending some hearts
But we're the losers on the back seats, singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a quarter past midnight, still avoiding tomorrow
It's a quarter past midnight, but we're just getting going

[Chorus]
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh

[Post-Chorus]
This is my favourite part, oh
Help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart, oh
Help me piece it all together

[Verse 2]
It's a quarter past midnight and the speakers are blowing, yeah, yeah
We want the bodies on the billboards, not the lives underneath them, yeah, yeah
And now we're crawling up the walls again and it's a quarter past twelve
And you said we'd leave this place in dust and fall from heaven straight through hell
We never know what we have
We never knew what we had
[Chorus]
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
Why are we always chasing after something like we're trying to throw our lives away?
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh

[Post-Chorus]
This is my favourite part, oh
Help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart, oh
Help me piece it all together

[Bridge]
(I can't remember, I can't remember, I can't remember)
It's a quarter past midnight and the secrets are flowing
Our lips are getting looser, I don't know what I'm saying
We never knew what we had
I never know what I've had

[Chorus]
We keep on running, running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
Why are we always chasing after something like we're trying to throw our lives away?
Away-way, oh, away-way, oh
[Post-Chorus]
This is my favourite part so
Help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart
Help me piece it all together

[Outro]
I can't remember, and I can't remember
I can't remember
Help me piece it all together, darling
