Nine 'Til Midnight Lyrics

I lie awake and wait for sunrise
There'll be no sleep tonight
Surrounded by your sweetness
And dizzy from your smile
Only hours are between us
I guess I'll be here for a while

Pre-Chorus:
'Cause I hope for you hopelessly
And hold on to the memory
Of you and I and the starlit sky

Chorus:
We walked the streets from nine 'til midnight
For a moment I just left it all behind
We walked the streets from nine 'til midnight
I'd give anything to feel it one more time
One more time

I blinked and it was over
I wish I'd never said goodbye

Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus

Yeah...

I can't save this
Am I faithless?
I can't save this
Am I faithless?

I hope for me hopelessly
And hope that someday there will be
A you and I and a starlit sky

Repeat Chorus

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la
One more time
Sha-la-la-la
One more time with you
(From nine 'til midnight) (Repeat this last part 4x)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is too good to not have any comments...

I don't think there's really any secret to the meaning. This completely encapsulates the way I feel about one of my past relationships.

I'd give anything to feel it one more time.
