Late At Night

Uh
Oh
Uh
Ooh

I just woke up at 2 am
Same books on the bookshelf
Three new cracks in the old brick wall
And your guitar still by the door

The green paper wall looked at me
Like it was screaming, Go back to sleep
Five years gone in a blink
And I'm still wide awake like a kid

The light still turns on
The grass smells the same
I hear my name
And it feels the same
Like I never really went

Ooh, midnight again
Uh, midnight again
I'm back where we began
With that strange feeling in my hands

Ooh, midnight again
Wide awake again
All my old fears come creeping in
And I'm the kid I was then

Uh
Oh
I'm the kid I was then
Uh
Oh
Midnight again

The house looks a little older now
But it's the same old drama
The same old fights, the same old doors
The same voices down the hall

My brother calls me stupid nicknames
Like nothing ever changed
And for a second I forget
How many years I've been away

I bump into someone in the parking lot
And they ask me where I've been
We laugh about some stupid thing
And suddenly I'm there again

I pass the bridge, singing to some tunes
The radio turned up too loud
And suddenly I'm eighteen
Trying to get back home noo

The laundromat hums low
Late at night, the TV glows
I feel the years peel off my skin
Like I was never meant to grow

I pass the bridge, singing to some tunes
The radio turned up too loud
And suddenly I'm eighteen
Trying to get back home noo

The laundromat hums low
Late at night, the TV glows
I feel the years peel off my skin
Like I was never meant to grow

The laundromat hums low
Late at night, the TV glows
I feel the years peel off my skin
Like I was never meant to grow

Ooh, midnight again
Uh, midnight again
I'm back where we began
With that strange feeling in my hands

Ooh, midnight again
Wide awake again
All my old fears come creeping in
And I'm the kid I was then

Uh
Oh
Same story again
Uh
Oh
I'm the kid I was then

Uh
Oh
Same story again
Uh
Oh
I'm the kid I was then

Where's my momma when I need her the most?
Where's my father to tell me a joke?
God, I thought I'd outgrown this place
But apparently I couldn't erase

All the things I thought I'd left behind
Are waiting for me every night
Every hallway knows my name
Every window looks the same

If I leave before the dawn
Will I finally feel grown?
Or will this town stay in my throat
Even when I'm far from home?

Ooh
Uh
Maybe home is not a place
Maybe home is what you can't escape

Ooh
Uh

Ooh, midnight again
Uh, midnight again
I'm back where we began
With that strange feeling in my hands

Ooh, midnight again
Same story again
All my old fears come creeping in
And I'm the kid I was then

Uh
Oh
I'm the kid I was then
Uh
Oh

Midnight again

Ooh
Uh
Midnight again
