5 Minutes Until Midnight Lyrics by When Rivers Meet

Aces Are High

2023

[Verse]
Now we've had a taste that we cannot waste
We're passing the time in a sacred space
5 minutes until midnight, it's not too late
[Verse]
The longest of nights bring us something new
And now we can see what we're about to choose
5 minutes until midnight, it's not too late
5 minutes until we have tempted fate
[Chorus]
I'm alive and I'm ready
Oh, I'm alive and I'm ready
Oh, I'm alive and I'm ready
Oh, I'm alive 'cause I'm not ready to die
[Bridge]
I'm leaning in, I'm leaning into
I'm leaning in, I'm lеaning into
I'm leaning in, I'm leaning into
[Verse]
And while thе world stands and watches you
We're on the brink of something new
5 minutes until midnight, it's not too late
5 minutes until we have tempted fate
[Chorus]
I'm alive and I'm ready
Oh, I'm alive and I'm ready
Oh, I'm alive and I'm ready
Oh, I'm alive 'cause I'm not ready to die
[Verse]
Set the timer to the chime of eight
I can't but not get up late
Sun's been shining for a while now
I'm alive and I'm ready
[Verse]
I feel the time at a passing rate
I watch the hands as I sit and wait
Things seem much faster now
I know the fires are spreading
[Verse]
Set the timer to the chime of eight
I can't but not get up late
Sun's been shining for a while now
I'm alive and I'm ready
[Chorus]
I'm alive and I'm ready
Oh, I'm alive and I'm ready
Oh, I'm alive and I'm ready
Oh, I'm alive 'cause I'm not ready to die
[Outro]
(Set the timer to the chime of eight), I'm not ready to die
(I can't but not get up late) 'cause I'm not ready to die
(Sun's been shining for a while now) oh, I'm not ready to die
(I'm alive and I'm ready) 'cause I'm not ready to die
