Midnight Sky

(album: Traverse - 2013)

Get your head up it's all okay
these troubles are bound to the messes we've made
and I cannot promise that I'm not ashamed
of keeping my feet on the ground

Well you're a record that I will always play
a notebook filled with what I'm trying to say
and I've lived out my whole life to be here today
just to tell you to not turn around

Don't walk away
from everything
that kept a smile on your face

This world ain't much
to brag about
but it's so perfect to travel away

Let's sail the ocean you and I
let's fly across the midnight sky
let's dance together in the stars
colliding hearts like crashing cars

cuz you're not a choice
you're so hard to obtain
and the concept of having you
drives me insane

I am sleeping under city lights every night
just to find you and make you mine

Yeah you're not a choice you're so hard to obtain
and the concept of having you drives me insane
I am sleeping under city lights every night
just to find you and make you mine

Let's be real here
start telling the truth
it's so hard to speak up
that I've fallen for you

I'm drawing a map
just to keep moving through
all the places I would never go

Well the postcards and letters
are never enough
this adventure alone
keeps on tearing me up

and I hope that the constant reminder of us
is a feeling you already know
(it's a feeling you already know)

Let's sail the ocean you and I
let's fly across the midnight sky
let's dance together in the stars
colliding hearts like crashing cars

cuz you're not a choice
you're so hard to obtain
and the concept of having you
drives me insane

I am sleeping under city lights every night
just to find you and make you mine

So stop for a moment and find in yourself
the courage to give you a story to tell
a tale about all of the problems we made
from the minute that I had to go

So what if I'm following every state
in a desperate attempt just to find my way
all the places and faces that keep me awake
are the ones that will carry me home

Are the ones that will carry me home
are the ones that will carry me home

All the places and faces that keep me awake
are the ones that will carry me home

Are the ones that will carry me home
are the ones that will carry me home

All the places and faces that keep me awake
are the ones that will carry me home
