Lyrics Maxïmo Park

Maxïmo Park

Midnight on the Hill

A flood lit tennis card we play

Nocturnal spots where

Our skew-whiff smile we wear, our skew-whiff smiles

A flood lit tennis card we play

Nocturnal spots where

Our skew-whiff smile we wear, our skew-whiff smiles

A designated driver view come alive

Voices quick and true

I tell my secrets to a perfect stranger

It was midnight on the hill

A sudden silence, too much information

We were struggling with our will

What happened next I would like to know

Funny how the moments come and go

The forest opens up

We fill another cup

We feel our sense slide

The bubbles and you know spill on your summer clothes

You grab a guiding hand

The bubbles and you know spill on your summer clothes

You grab a guiding hand

What happened next I would like to know

Funny how the moments come and go

What happened next I would like to know

The smell of sunscreen smeared on the front seat

You and your bear feet topping on the glove box

It wasn't meant to be, this is how the summer goes

You missed it on my mind

It's getting so confined

You missed it on my mind

It's getting so confined

Turning the screw

You missed it on my mind

Why did I do

It's getting so confined

Turning the screw

You missed it on my mind

Why did I do

Miss you, need you, all night long

Miss you, need you, all night strong

What happened next I would like to know

Funny how the moments come and go

Midnight, midnight, midnight
