Lyrics
Midnight comes, I miss that girl already
Expressing a sense of longing for a girl at midnight
Always enigmatic, ever so unsteady
Describing the girl as mysterious and unstable
Playing it shy, who's the lucky guy
Wondering who the lucky guy is as she plays it shy
Waiting for their heart to melt?
Curious about the possibility of melting someone's heart
Eyes of mercury whisper stormy weather
Describing the girl's eyes as unpredictable and suggesting stormy weather
On the Riviera we'll get lost together
Imagining getting lost together on the Riviera
I am aiming high, I'm not scared to try
Expressing confidence and a willingness to aim high
See how the cards are dealt
Observing how fate unfolds or cards are dealt
So open up your heart and take a guess
Encouraging the girl to open up her heart and make a guess
The only real answer right now is yes
Suggesting that the only correct answer is "yes" at the moment
Tell me that I'm right, don't run into the night
Requesting confirmation that the speaker is right and not to run away
We are two of a kind
Emphasizing a shared similarity between the speaker and the girl
Race the night and I will follow
Encouraging a mutual pursuit of something exciting or adventurous
Before first light, while there is time
Suggesting a race against time before dawn
Before the shadows let us go
Highlighting the urgency before shadows engulf them
And it's too late to race the night
Warning that it might become too late to pursue their desires
Race the night
Reiterating the theme of racing against time
Not long past you were last a stranger
Reflecting on a recent encounter that made the person no longer a stranger
One fatal glance put our hearts in danger
Describing a moment where hearts were put in danger due to a fatal glance
What you got to hide?
Questioning what the person has to hide
Who's your alibi?
Asking about the person's alibi or explanation
How come our stars aligned?
Wondering about the alignment of their stars or destiny
Baby it's too late now we're in deep trouble
Realizing that they are now in deep trouble at this late hour
At this hour we know the price is double
Acknowledging the doubled price of their actions at this time
What you got to lose?
Asking what the person has to lose in the current situation
Now's the time to choose
Encouraging the person to make a choice now
If you want to be mine
Expressing that it's the time to commit to a relationship
Race the night and I will follow
Repeating the theme of racing against time with a promise to follow
Before first light, while there is time
Highlighting the urgency before dawn and the availability of time
Before the shadows let us go
Emphasizing the need to act before shadows envelop them
And it's too late to race the night
Warning again that it might become too late to pursue their desires
Race the night and I will follow
Repeating the encouragement to race against time with a promise to follow
Before first light, while there is time
Reiterating the urgency before dawn and the availability of time
Before the shadows let us go
Re-emphasizing the need to act before shadows engulf them
And it's too late to race the night
Warning once more that it might become too late to pursue their desires
Race the night
Repeating the theme of racing against time
Race the night
Repeating the call to "Race the night"
Race the night
