Midnight Construction

We were late on the road

Our offramp was closed

For some midnight construction

The heater was broke

And you kept checking your phone

Like you had somewhere to go

It was all so cinematic

The way you flipped your hair as i killed the engine

Yeah, it was just like we rehearsed

But there was a tearing sound

And the world turned so bright

Like the fourth of july

Had gotten caught between our eyes

And suddenly our tongues were tied

And we had both forgetten our lines

But i just couldn't let you pass me by

So we made our own, yeah we made our own lines

And we kissed like movie stars

And we fired the director

And we made love on the cutting room floor

And our hands were around our necks

And for once, we found a pulse

You said, "baby, in the morning

We'll both have the blackest eyes

From a lifetime of

Seeing things that no one ever should."

So we kissed like movie stars

And we fired the director

And we made love on the cutting room floor

Yeah, we kissed like movie stars

And we burned down every theatre

And we made love under the ashes we prayed for
