MIDNIGHT (OR A LITTLE AFTER)
(Holiday/Corbett/Fedak)

It’s midnight or a little after
And, I don’t know where you are
I kid myself that I would rather – be alone
Than be smart enough – to know the difference
Than be smart enough - To hear what you said
But, I’m not big enough to ever get it
Through this selfish, hard as nails head
Even though you said …

Chorus:

Stop waiting for me put your mind where your mouth is
And think about it
Stop living through me I’m the wrong kind of justice
I’m not the anecdote for that lump in your throat
I’m not what you need
I’m not the ultimate cure – I will never be pure enough
To heal - this … Even if I tried … tomorrow
Even if I tried – forever
Even if I …

The moon said I’ll see you later
Almost sunrise
But, I can not see any better – I’m tranquilized
By eyes of indifference – these eyes that strain
To find perfection on less than perfect days
Yeah, I know you said …

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:

If I could crawl inside you then maybe I would know
How to compensate for your lack of letting things go
But, my tongue gets tied – when I try to be wise
So, let’s think about it
