Open Til Midnight Lyrics
She needed shelter from the rain
She saw it on the sign
It said we're Open Till Midnight
(Open Till Midnight)
I'm sorry by the way
I came here just the other day
And you look so familiar
(Look so familiar)
And maybe you and I
Can have a drink and start the night
With a friendly conversation, oh
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you ran away from?
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
She woke up before AM
To smoke a cigarette again
And she stood in the doorway
(Stood in the doorway)
She said I love to watch you sleep
And hear the secrets that you keep
And remember what my father told me
(Told me)
He said stay strong and don't forget to call
But don't ever come back at all
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you ran away from?
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
It feels wrong
I think sometimes I'll cry the way we planned to
And even try
When you know something steered you wrong again
When did you decide
You don't belong here?
You don't belong...
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you ran away from?
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you ran away from?
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
I still walk away
I still clearly follow
I can not think today
What you ran away from?
I'm just a run away
I still can not follow
I can not think today
I'm just an empty shell
She saw it on the sign
It said we're Open Till Midnight
(Open Till Midnight)
I'm sorry by the way
I came here just the other day
And you look so familiar
(Look so familiar)
And maybe you and I
Can have a drink and start the night
With a friendly conversation, oh
What you ran away from?
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
To smoke a cigarette again
And she stood in the doorway
(Stood in the doorway)
She said I love to watch you sleep
And hear the secrets that you keep
And remember what my father told me
(Told me)
But don't ever come back at all
What you ran away from?
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
I think sometimes I'll cry the way we planned to
And even try
When you know something steered you wrong again
When did you decide
You don't belong here?
You don't belong...
What you ran away from?
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
I still clearly follow
I can not think today
What you ran away from?
I'm just a run away
I still can not follow
I can not think today
I'm just an empty shell

I think this song is about a man meets a woman with a terrible past and he wants to know what was so wrong about it so he asks what was bad from her past.
Here is my version of the song, you'll especially see some different lines in the chorus:
She needed shelter from the rain She saw it on the sign It said 'We're open till midnight' I'm sorry by the way I came here just the other day And you look so familiar And maybe you and I Can have a drink and start the night With a friendly conversation (you know)
Can you and I be truthful now? What you ran away from? And then you numb the pain To make it through somehow What you ran away from? What you ran away from?
She woke up at 4AM To smoke a cigarette again And she stood in the doorway She said: "I love to watch you sleep Then hear the secrets that you keep And remember what my father told me. He said stay strong and don't forget to call But don't ever come back at all!"
Can you and I be truthful now? What you ran away from? And then you numb the pain To make it through somehow What you ran away from? What you ran away from?
Things don't turn out quite the way we planned
Didn't you even try? When you knew something steered you wrong again When did you decide? You don't belong here You don't belong (No!)
Can you and I be truthful now? What you ran away from? And then you numb the pain To make it through somehow What you ran away from? (What you ran away from?)
Can you and I be truthful now? What you ran away from? And then you numb the pain To make it through somehow What you ran away from? (What you ran away from?)
I'm just a runaway I seek still you follow I cannot think today What you ran away from? I'm just a runaway I seek the end you follow I cannot think today I'm just a empty shell
