Seize The Night

Who would've thought it would finish like this

On the back of a bus at 2:36

And you try to explain why things aren't the same

You've grown up a little

You haven't really changed

And the song came on just before dawn

You tried to catch sleep but she's run off to torment your mind

As you lie there awake and unnerved

And you really don't like the first verse

And you're thinking about the universe

Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind

Seize the night, do your best to lose track of time

Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long

Cause if you know where you are when you wake up

If you know where you are when you wake up

If you know where you are when you wake up, something's wrong

Never knew it would take this long

The same old streets, the same old songs

The same wise words from old man john

Where does he go now the grey horse is gone

Close down a twelfth bar last week

I remember you dancing on Denmark street

Asking where we're going next

Those are the days that I'll always know best

They're ripping this city's style off his chest

Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind

Seize the night, do your best to lose track of time

Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long

Cause if you know where you are when you wake up

If you know where you are when you wake up

If you know where you are when you wake up, something's wrong

Well it's just black 17 and red number 5

Ten minutes to the pound, four years of your life

Wish I could write a letter to pass the warning

To say it's gonna happen so fast

Johnny used to say he believed in ghosts

They were the little things that he loved the most

Well we never got rich and we never got famous

I heard that Alice got married in Vegas

If you see her, won't you tell her that I said goodbye

And I never forgot that faithful valentine

And I never forgot the tears in her eyes

Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind

Seize the night, do your best to lose track of time

Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long

Cause if you know where you are when you wake up

If you know where you are when you wake up

If you know where you are when you wake up, something's wrong

Well if you blink, then you'll miss it

When the times are changing

'Cause it's out of fashion when it's on TV

Before you know it, your eyes are aging

You're telling your kids: That used to be me

Well we got off the bus, a kiss on the cheek

I said: Maybe I'll give you a call next week

But we both know those calls will never come

Well as long as we're still breathing

There will be somewhere left to run

Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind

Seize the night, do your best to lose track of time

Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long

Cause if you know where you are when you wake up

If you know where you are when you wake up

If you know where you are when you wake up, something's wrong
