Midnight Sky

Lyrics

I left the city without goodbye,
Streetlights fading in the rearview night.
Every mile takes me further away,
From all the words I was afraid to say.

No map beside me, no place to return,
Just an empty road and lessons learned.
The world gets quiet beyond the signs,
And for once this life feels only mine.

The road keeps moving,
The past falls behind.
There’s something waiting
On the other side.

Under the midnight sky,
I finally feel alive.
No walls around me,
No reason left to hide.

Under the midnight sky,
I leave it all behind.
Whatever waits beyond tonight,
At least the road is mine.

White lines running beneath the wheels,
Somewhere between what was and what feels real.
I spent too many years standing still,
Living somebody else’s idea of will.

Now every turn is a choice I make,
Every horizon another risk to take.
Maybe tomorrow will tear me apart,
But tonight I’m following my heart.

The road keeps moving,
The past disappears.
Nothing can hold me
The way it did for years.

Under the midnight sky,
I finally feel alive.
No walls around me,
No reason left to hide.

Under the midnight sky,
I leave it all behind.
Whatever waits beyond tonight,
At least the road is mine.

No destination.
No turning back.

Just blacktop beneath me
And stars above.

Let the old world disappear.

Tonight...

I choose the unknown.

Under the midnight sky,
I finally feel alive.
The world is wide open,
And I’m crossing every line.

Under the midnight sky,
I leave the past behind.
If morning finds me somewhere new,
Then I know this life is mine.

Midnight fading,
First light arrives.

Still moving forward...

Under the midnight sky.
