Five Minutes to Midnight

I trace the shadows falling down your face
Lost in the quiet of this empty space
The fire is fading but your eyes are bright
We’re only five minutes to midnight
The wooden floors are humming with the rain
I pull you closer, let the world remain
I feel the rhythm of your racing heart
I want to finish what we came to start
I feel the shiver of your breath on me
A slow surrender to the chemistry
There is no rush when we are standing still
I want to stay right here, I always will
Oh, the clock is counting down but I don't care
I’m tangled in the perfume of your hair
The shadows whisper and the room feels right
Caught in these five minutes to midnight
Hold on to me
Caught in these five minutes to midnight
We let the coffee turn to cold out there
As I unbutton all the weight you wear
Your skin is glowing in the amber hue
There's nothing else I’d rather do with you
I feel the shiver of your breath on me
A slow surrender to the chemistry
There is no rush when we are standing still
I want to stay right here, I always will
Oh, the clock is counting down but I don't care
I’m tangled in the perfume of your hair
The shadows whisper and the room feels right
Caught in these five minutes to midnight
Hold on to me
Caught in these five minutes to midnight
The hands are moving but the time has stopped
Every heavy burden that we carried has dropped
I draw you into the rush of the tide
With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
It’s Sayed holding you close through the night
Just let me love you till the morning light
We don't need to say a single word tonight
Just let the midnight take us away
Oh, the clock is counting down but I don't care
I’m tangled in the perfume of your hair
The shadows whisper and the room feels right
Caught in these five minutes to midnight
