[Verse 1] Under lights that never fall asleep, between the noise and promises we keep, the city’s moving faster than me, but time slows down when you look at me. Cold hands shaking in the winter air, a million voices, but I’m not there, every step led me to this place, to the quiet in your face. I come from years I can’t rewind, from empty rooms and borrowed time, I searched for home in crowded streets, never knowing you were what I’d need. [Pre-Chorus] Every second’s getting louder now, the sky is holding its breath somehow, if this moment was all we had, I’d stay right here… and call it that. [Chorus] A kiss at midnight, then the world fades out, among a million, it’s you I’d choose no doubt, when the clock hits zero and the lights collide, the future’s written in your eyes. Twelve seconds falling, the old year’s gone, but love stays standing when the moment’s done, if time asks where it wants to be, it’ll stop right here… with you and me. [Verse 2] I walked through mistakes I had to make, every wrong turn led me your way, between the cheers, the glass, the sound, you’re the silence I finally found. The crowd is screaming, but I don’t hear, your breath’s the only thing that’s clear, as the ball comes down slow and bright, I hold the world in your hand tonight. Everything I was before you came, was waiting dressed up as a different name, now the sky feels closer than before, and time doesn’t scare me anymore. [Pre-Chorus 2] I count heartbeats against your chest, every fear losing its edge, if tomorrow changes everything, this night… we’ll keep. [Chorus – Bigger] A kiss at midnight, let it stay, while everything else falls away, among a million, I’d choose you again, at the start of forever, at the end of then. Twelve seconds drop into the past, but this love was built to last, if the future’s looking for a sign, it’s right here… in this time. [Bridge] No promises we have to shout, no perfect words to figure out, if the world breaks, I’m not afraid, your love is the choice I’ve made. Let the past stay where it belongs, this night will carry us along, every year that’s still to come, starts tonight… with us as one. [Final Chorus] A kiss at midnight, hold me close, while the sky turns gold from ghosts, among a million lives and ways, I’d find you every time, always. Twelve seconds fade, then we begin, a brand new year under our skin, if time decides to slow its pace, it’ll do it just to watch us… stay. [Outro] If tomorrow changes everything, this moment’s what it’ll bring, ‘cause my time starts right here tonight… with a kiss. At midnight. With you.
