i don’t know why
i don’t know why i am crying
i don’t know why
i don’t know why i am dying
to be there with you
i don’t know why
i don’t know why i am losing
the brightest star in my night sky
and i don’t know what to do
alone & crying here without you

(chorus)
i’m waiting on a brand new midnight
watching the rain fall down
i’m waiting on a brand new midnight
she’s running all over this town
i’m waiting on a brand new midnight
she’s one in a million you see
i’m waiting on a brand new midnight
‘cuz she means everything to me

all those cold nights
naked in your bed
lyrics from “globes & maps”
playing in our heads
and what i remember
is how you once said
“because of moments like this”
and then we kissed with the stars above
looking down at us
basking in our love

all the time at home all alone
i don’t know what to do
even armor for sleep
won’t protect me
from dreaming of you
we had no reason to end
so i’m waiting to begin again
i’ll let you go
if you tell me where you’ll be
and as long as you know
you can always “say anything” to me
my sweet punk rock girl
with that ingrid bergman smile

(chorus)
i’m waiting on a brand new midnight
watching the rain fall down
i’m waiting on a brand new midnight
she’s running all over this town
i’m waiting on a brand new midnight
she’s one in a million you see
i’m waiting on a brand new midnight
‘cuz she means everything to me

it sometimes seems that
i have no life without you
and there’s no other way to be
because you’re life to me
come back someday to hold me tight
as “we rise on sun beams & fall in the night”

and no matter what
through all of the fights & the lies
you shall always remain
the brightest star in my sky

because you’re life to me
because you’re life to me
because you’re life to me
because you’re life to me

i’m waiting on a brand new midnight
it will be a sight to see
when she comes back, loving
kissing & making me
the happiest man you’ve ever seen

spoken: and i’ve held on to this hope for so long
but still we’re fading like this song
