"Midnight Hour" lyrics

In the midnight hour
See a shadow at the door
You tell me you're sorry
You tell me you're sober
Move to the bed now
You peel off your shirt
You tell me you love me
But you won't remember
Maybe we're broken so much that it works
A parallel heartache spun into pleasure
A voice in my head sings of love that we earn
You turn out the light, forget every word

Sell me that dream
That leaves me in pieces
Getting off easy
If you know what I mean
I want to see up your sleeve love
I've got my reasons
You've got your halo
And I don't believe

No call on my birthday
What a crippling blow
No small talk now
Leave it all on the table
A daily delusion
A slippery slope
Made a wish to forget you
But I won't if you say so
Shouldn't have to tell you
What you already know
The tightrope we walk now
Is going to hang us for sure though
The music we face now
My vocals impose
If I wrote you off here
Would you read it all wrong?

Sell me that dream
That leaves me in pieces
Getting off easy
If you know what I mean
I want to see up your sleeve love
I've got my reasons
You've got your halo
And I don't believe

Out of my sight
But still running my mind
Night after night until I retire
Drive yourself home
And I'll be alright

Sell me that dream
That leaves me in pieces
Getting off easy
If you know what I mean

Sell me that dream
That leaves me in pieces
Getting off easy
If you know what I mean
I want to see up your sleeve love
I've got my reasons
You've got your halo
And I don't believe
