"we are the reckless, we are the wild youth"
-youth, daughter

midnight runs

my heart in my mouth
your hand in mine
my pulse dashing ahead
i've never felt so alive.

the burn in my muscles
the tinge in your cheeks
the laughter-infused air
i'm weak in the knees.

the roads never end
neither can this night
reality feels altered
wrong has never felt so right

we can wander freely
there's no such thing as day
the stars keep us company
let's waste our lives away

the wind is in my hair
exhilarated and high
i'm running, i'm flying
on the depths of your eyes

the faint glimmer of a signal
the quiver of your finger
the bright glint of my eyes
the ambrosial scent that lingers

we are indestructible
we can never die
we are so damn reckless
we are living for this night

so put your lips on my neck
and your hand in my hair
i'll put the music on loud
and run till we don't care

this city was built for you
these roads were built for me
each crack sculpted with dreams
of the midnight runs they'd see.
