Grace Potter - Midnight Album Lyrics

Hot To The Touch

Forgive me if I'm not myself tonight
My body's in a battle with my mind
Intoxicated with a dangerous desire
You struck the match and now I can't control the fire

Don't you know you want me baby
Don't you know you feel the same

This love is hot, hot to the touch
A little too much is never enough
This love is hot, hot to the touch
A little too much for people like us

Driving home at night I'm aching for your touch
Barely breathing, I'm so caught up in this heavy rush
Is it possible to want something too much
Cause one night with you is never quite enough

Don't you know you want me baby
Don't you know you feel the same

This love is hot, hot to the touch
A little too much is never enough
This love is hot, hot to the touch
A little too much for people like us

I know you know I want you baby
You know I know you feel the same

This love is hot, hot to the touch
A little too much is never enough
This love is hot, hot to the touch
A little too much for people like us

Alive Tonight

In the dark of the desert
I saw a man with a sign, it said
People get ready, cause it's all over
It's all gonna end tonight, well

I got a feeling we're gonna be alright
But if this is the last time we ever see the daylight

We are, we are, we are
Alive tonight
Yeah
We are, we are, we are
Alive tonight

You wanna get in on the action, you want
Everyone to listen to you, oh
You're just living in a prediction
And that dont, that don't make it true, no

I got a feeling we're gonna be alright
But if this is the last time we ever see the daylight

We are, we are, we are
Alive tonight
Yeah
We are, we are, we are
Alive tonight

Nobody knows what will come tomorrow
Nobody knows 'til the lights go out
Nobody knows who to fight or follow
There's only one thing I know right now

We are, we are, we are
Alive tonight
Yeah
We are, we are, we are
Alive tonight [x2]

Your Girl

I could make you mine
I'm so tempted to touch you
I'm dying to cross the line
But I like your girl too much
I never wanted to meet her
But you let me
So you can't tempt me no more
And you can't have it both ways baby
So stop making me burn

I wish I never met your girl
I wish I never met your girl
Cause I really like her
I wish I never met your girl
I wish I never met your girl
And I don't wanna hurt her
I wish I never met your girl
Your girl, your girl, your girl

When she's not by your side
You let our bodies touch
I'm trying to put out the fire
Cause I like your girl too much
When she was a stranger
It was so easy
Living in my dream but now
I can't shoot down an angel
Just because I want to be your midnight queen, no no

I wish I never met your girl
I wish I never met your girl
Cause I really like her
I wish I never met your girl
I wish I never met your girl
And I don't wanna hurt her
I wish I never met your girl
Your girl, your girl, your girl

Close my eyes every night
Try to dream about you but I only see her face
Thought my heart wants you now
I can live without you now but talk about you never, ever have to say

Wish I never met your girl
Wish I never met your girl
Cause I really like her
And I wish I didn't like your girl
Wish I didn't like your girl
But I do
And I don't wanna hurt her
I wish I never met your girl
Your girl, your girl, your girl
I wish I never met your girl
Your girl, your girl, your girl

Empty Heart

You know how to make me weak in the knees
When you pour yourself all over me
But somebody broke you back in the day
Now you never ever love
Now you only wanna play

I cry when you do, I cry when you don't
Why won't you tell me what, what you want with me
One day we're together then we're apart
Why won't you let me fill up your empty heart

There's a big old hole in the middle of you
Cause somebody left you black and blue
Yeah we all make promises we can't keep
And they're paper thin but cut so deep

I cry when you do, I cry when you don't
Why won't you tell me what, what you want with me
One day we're together then we're apart
Why won't you let me fill up your empty heart
Why won't you let me fill up your empty heart

Fill up your empty heart
Fill up your empty heart
Fill up your empty heart
Fill up your empty heart (I just wanna fill it up baby)
Fill up your empty heart (Why won't you let me)
Fill up your empty heart (I want you to let me)
Fill up your empty heart (I just wanna)
Fill up your empty heart (Fill it up, fill it up, yeah)

I cry when you do, I cry when you don't
Why won't you tell me what, what you want with me
Fill up your empty heart
Fill up your empty heart
One day we're together then we're apart
Why won't you let me fill up your empty heart
Fill up your empty heart
Fill up your empty heart
I cry when you do, I cry when you don't
Why won't you tell me what, what you want with me
Fill up your empty heart
Fill up your empty heart (I just wanna)
Why won't you let me fill up your empty heart

The Miner

You got a hunger for my heart
You say there's diamonds in my eyes
And as I hold you in my arms
I let you bleed me dry

I don't understand what you do,
Why you hurt the one who loves you,
I feel you mining in my bones
I feel you digging in my soul

Woah oh, you're taking so much
I'm breaking down
So go on, keep taking more
'till everything is gone
You're breaking me down
Breaking me down

And you can see it in my eyes
I'm sleepless even in the dark
And my fingers trace the lines
Where I used to have a heart

I don't understand what you do
Why you hurt the one who loves you
I feel you mining in my bones
I feel you digging in my soul
Oh oh oh

Woah oh, you're taking so much
I'm breaking down
So go on, keep taking more
'till everything is gone
You're breaking me down
Breaking me down

Woah oh, you're taking so much
I'm breaking down
So go on, keep taking more
'till everything is gone
You're breaking me down
You're breaking me down
You're breaking me down

Delirious

Can't sleep, I can't resist
The street lights are so persistent
They keep calling out to me
From the dark side of the city
Hey hey, is anybody still awake
Let's make some magic before the day breaks
Don't wanna sleep, it's not mysterious
Just love the way I feel when I, when I get

Delirious, delirious

And the day turns into night
Turns into day, turns into delirious
Another day turns into night
Turns into day, and I'm still delirious

I never close my eyes
Cause I don't know what's waiting on the other side
And life's just too good to miss
And that's why I never sleep
I love the way I feel when I'm

Delirious, delirious

And the day turns into night
Turns into day, turns into delirious
Another day turns into night
Turns into day, and I'm still delirious

And I know I'm gonna fall
Into this twisted place
I'm sliding deeper as I override my mind
And I'm delirious

And the day turns into night
Turns into day, turns into delirious
Another day turns into night
Turns into day, and I'm still delirious

Another day turns into night
Turns into day, turns into delirious
Another day turns into night
Can't get away from being delirious

Look What We've Become

They told you to keep your head down
They told you not to run
They told you "we're sorry, you're not the fortunate one"
They told me to keep it quiet
Said my day would never come
So I screamed my lungs out and I ran straight for the sun

And they always told us we would be nothing
Look what we've done (look what we've done), hey
And they always told us we would be nothing
But look what we've become (look what we've become)

And they told you you don't understand
They told you, "let it go"
And then they took you by the hand
And led you out the door
Your words don't make a sound
My dreams are on the floor
But you're rising up from underground
And I'm nothing like I was before

And they always told us we would be nothing
But look what we've done (look what we've done), hey
And they always told us we would be nothing
Now look what we've become (look what we've become)

They say it's over now
The world is over you
They told me "no regrets"
There's nothing you can do
But I won't fade to black
On the walk that will be damned
I'll wear my heart like a flag and run
Straight for the sun

Always told us we would be nothing
And they always told us we would be nothing

Told us "keep your heads down"
They told us not to run
They told us "we're sorry, you're not the chosen ones"
They told us to keep it quiet
And said our day would never come
So we screamed our bloody lungs out and ran straight for the sun

And they always told us we would be nothing
And look what we've done (look what we've done), hey
And they always told us we would be nothing
But look what we've become (look what we've become)

Uh, uh
Look what we've become

Instigators

United we stand, divided we fall
It's time to crossover, shoulder to shoulder
Raise up your arms, come one, come all
We've got to crossover

Shoulder to shoulder, we blow on the coals
In the cold of our souls, we crash in the hole

You, me, together we're gonna be
The instigators
Revolution loves company
We are the revelators

There's a generation living in a satellite
And they're getting closer, closer and closer
Raise up your arms, hold up the sky
It's time to crossover

Shoulder to shoulder, we blow on the coals
In the cold of our souls and we're ready to fight

You, me, together we're gonna be
The instigators
Revolution loves company
We are the revelators

Shoulder to shoulder, we blow on the coals
In the cold of our souls and we're ready to fight

You, me, together we're gonna be
The instigators
Revolution loves company
We are the revelators

Biggest Fan

I know you, I see you
Eyes from across the room
Embodied perfection
Drink in your every move
I watch you from the shadows
Bring strangers to their knees
An ocean of faces
But you're dancing just for me

There's nothing like a party
To make you move this way
And there's nothing stopping me from
Sweeping you away
And you know exactly who I am
Oh, I'm your biggest fan

The lovesick, lonely viper
Waits for the perfect time
Then slowly wraps around her
Unconscious concubine
Come closer, a little closer
There's no need to be afraid
Why would you run from me
Before you tell that we were made

There's nothing like a party
To make you move this way
And there's nothing stopping me from
Sweeping you away
And you know exactly who I am
Oh, I'm your biggest fan

There's nothing like a party
To make you move this way
And there's nothing stopping me from
Sweeping you away
And you know exactly who I am
Oh, oh, I'm your biggest fan
I'm your biggest fan

Low

Sleeping under concrete skies
Underneath a pair of dice
This city is a dirty jerk
But baby so is love
And we ain't kicking either one tonight
Is it too late, too late to turn around?
Cause it feels like we're already underground

So when you're feeling low, you know
I'm going down with you lover
And I'm never letting go, you know
You will never go down, never go down alone
Ooh oh oh, when you're feeling low [x2]

Living off of love and life
Cause I don't wanna compromise
Trouble is a dirty jerk
But baby so is love
And we ain't kicking either one tonight
Cause it's too late, too late to turn around
Baby I'm already underground

So when you're feeling low, you know
I'm going down with you lover
And I'm never letting go, you know
You will never go down, never go down alone
Ooh oh oh, when you're feeling low [x2]

And if we lose, lose each other
In the undertow
Baby swim, swim to the bottom
And I'll be waiting for you way down low

I'm going down with you lover
And I'm never letting go, you know
You will never go down, never go down alone
Ooh oh oh, I'm going down with you lover no I'm
I'm never letting go
Ooh oh oh, you know you will never go down
Never go down alone
Ooh oh oh, when you're feeling low [x2]

Nobody's Born With A Broken Heart

Nobody's born with a broken heart [x2]

Once there was a restless father
Who walked out on his one and only son
And now he's saving up to buy a guitar
So he can write his own redemption song
Lonely is the wayward mother, she says
"I swear I'm gonna get it right one of these days"
But once you let somebody break you down
You just get used to feeling that way
But I say

Nobody's born with a broken heart [x2]

There's a young man living under the freeway
He sleeps in any warm place he can find
And he's still looking for the strangers
Who gave him green eyes and a restless smile
He spends his days on Beggars' Corner
As the people toss their coins and move along
One day a strange man with a guitar sat beside him
Closed his green eyes and played the boy a song
Hey hey

Nobody's born with a broken heart [x2]

I've met so many people
Chained to circumstance
And they're not asking for a miracle
All they want is a second chance
Sing hallelujah
Sing any song you wanna hear
Sing a song of redemption
Sing away, sing away your fears

Nobody's born with a broken heart [x2]

Let You Go

Your mind moved on
But your body didn't know it was time to let go
It took a while to realize
That you would never want to be around
Without your feet on the ground

Then you crossed that razor-sharp line
There's no soft edges I can find
There's no turning back this time
You're just gone

Now I gotta let you go
So it won't hurt no more
If I could let you go
Then I wouldn't feel sick no more

Sometimes I wonder
If we hadn't gotten so close
This wouldn't hurt as much I suppose
I could survive a hundred lonely years
If I could get back just a moment you were standing here

But you crossed that razor-sharp line
There's no soft edges I can find
There's no turning back tonight
You're just gone

Now I gotta let you go
So it won't hurt no more
If I could let you go
I wouldn't feel sick no more

And I'm trying to find that time when I
Can smile about all these lonely memories
Maybe eventually
If I could just let you go

I let you go
It doesn't hurt no more
I could let you go
No I don't feel sick no more

Now I find with the passing time
I'll be all right with only the memories
That you gave to me

I can let you go
I could let you go
I can let you go
I can let, I can let you go
