After midnight
Everything tastes different
No rules
No regrets
Just you and me

The city wears diamonds underneath the rain
Taxi lights are bleeding down the windowpane
Your silhouette is dancing in the neon haze
And every little shadow knows your name

I said I wouldn't come, but here I am
Your door is open like you knew I couldn't stand
Another lonely night pretending I'm okay
So pull me closer, baby, make the world fade away

'Cause something happens after midnight
When the good boys lose their halos
When the bad girls turn the lights low
And nobody has to know

Something happens after midnight
All my angels disappear
Every little sin gets sweeter
When you're whispering in my ear

After midnight
We don't have to be innocent
After midnight
We can be whoever we want again

Turn the lights down
Let the whole damn city sleep
After midnight
You're the only thing I need

After midnight
After midnight
That's when heaven feels like hell
And hell feels good to me

Champagne sweating on the kitchen floor
Your jacket hanging halfway off the door
We're laughing like we've never been afraid
While the sunrise waits outside to judge our mistakes

You put your hands around my waist
I forget every reason I should walk away
Your perfume mixed with smoke and cheap desire
And suddenly we're dancing closer to the fire

No promises, no future, no pretending
Tonight doesn't need a happy ending
If tomorrow wants to come, let it wait
We're too busy making beautiful mistakes

'Cause something happens after midnight
When the good boys lose their halos
When the bad girls turn the lights low
And nobody has to know

Something happens after midnight
All my angels disappear
Every little sin gets sweeter
When you're whispering in my ear

After midnight
We don't have to be innocent
After midnight
We can be whoever we want again

Turn the lights down
Let the whole damn city sleep
After midnight
You're the only thing I need

After midnight
After midnight
That's when heaven feels like hell
And hell feels good to me

Oh-oh, after midnight
Come a little closer
Oh-oh, after midnight
Don't let the night be over

Oh-oh, after midnight
We can lose control
If tomorrow asks where we've been
Tell it we don't know

3 AM, your heartbeat on mine
4 AM, we're running out of time
5 AM, the sky begins to burn
And I don't want the night to return to normal

If this is a sin, let the church doors close
If this is wrong, nobody has to know
I spent my whole life trying to be good
Tonight I'm gonna be exactly what I should

No halo
No heaven
No alibi

No savior
No warning
No goodbye

Just your body
Just my heartbeat
Just the bass underneath our feet

After midnight
I don't wanna be saved

After midnight
We don't have to be innocent
After midnight
We can be whoever we want again

Turn the lights down
Let the whole damn city sleep
After midnight
You're the only thing I need

After midnight
After midnight
That's when heaven feels like hell
And hell feels good to me

The Sun is coming
But I'm not ready

One more kiss
One more lie
One more night
Before we become strangers again

After midnight
That's where I found you
That's where I lost myself
And I wouldn't change a thing
