Oh my, it's getting late
High tide, wash it all away
Can you feel it in the air now
So take my hand and better take it fast
Nothing good is ever meant to last
Didn't mind the smoking gun
Saw the signs, so we had our fun
Trying all our prayers now
Darling, does it matter who's to blame
When the world is going down in flames?
Don't live me alone with nowhere to go
There's only a moment now
Let me get lost in those eyes
Down to the wire, facing the fire
A flash in the sky around us
I think we're running out of time
Tick tock, we've only got a second 'til midnight ('til midnight, ah)
Don't stop, and everybody watching
Those red lights (those red lights, ah)
So heads up, baby, time to hit the ground
Hold me close, the sky is falling down
Tick tock, we've only got a second 'til midnight ('til midnight, ah)
Sleepwalk, straight into the breath
Of those headlights (those headlights, ah)
So heads up, baby, time to hit the ground
Hold me close, the sky is falling down
Warning bells, smoke alarms
Still racing for each other's arms
Has got nothing left to lose now
Fingers on the button, 3, 2, 1
No use looking back at what we've done
Don't live me alone with nowhere to go
There's only a moment now
Let me get lost in those eyes
Down to the wire, facing the fire
A flash in the sky around us
I think we're running out of time
Tick tock, we've only got a second 'til midnight ('til midnight, ah)
Don't stop, and everybody watching
Those red lights (those red lights, ah)
So heads up, baby, time to hit the ground
Hold me close, the sky is falling down
Tick tock, we've only got a second 'til midnight ('til midnight, ah)
Sleepwalk, straight into the breath
Of those headlights (those headlights, ah)
So heads up, baby, time to hit the ground
Hold me close, the sky is falling down
We've only got a second 'til midnight, midnight
Midnight, oh
Tick tock, we've only got a second 'til midnight ('til midnight, ah)
Don't stop, and everybody watching
Those red lights (those red lights, ah)
So heads up, baby, time to hit the ground
Hold me close, the sky is falling down
Tick tock, we've only got a second 'til midnight ('til midnight, ah)
Sleepwalk, straight into the breath
Of those headlights (those headlights, ah)
So heads up, baby, time to hit the ground
Hold me close, the sky is falling down
