Seize The Night Lyrics by Will Varley

Postcards From Ursa Minor

2015

Who would've thought it would finish like this
On the back of a bus at 2:36
And you try to explain why things aren't the same
You've grown up a little
You haven't really changed
And the song came on just before dawn
You tried to catch sleep but she's run off to torment your mind
As you lie there awake and unnerved
And you really don't like the first verse
And you're thinking about the Universe
[Chorus]
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
Seize the night, do your best to lose track of time
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
Cause if you know where you are when you wake up
If you know where you are when you wake up
If you know where you are when you wake up, something's wrong
Never knew it would take this long
The same old streets, the same old songs
The same wise words from old man John
Where does he go now the grey horse is gone
Close down a twelfth bar last week
I remember you dancing on Denmark street
Asking where we're going next
Those are the days that I'll always know best
They're ripping this city's style off his chest
[Chorus]
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
Seize the night, do your best to lose track of time
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
Cause if you know where you are when you wake up
If you know where you are when you wake up
If you know where you are when you wake up, something's wrong
Well it's just black 17 and red number 5
Ten minutes to the pound, four years of your life
Wish I could write a letter to pass the warning
To say it's gonna happen so fast
Johnny used to say he believed in ghosts
They were the little things that he loved the most
Well we never got rich and we never got famous
I heard that Alice got married in Vegas
If you see her, won't you tell her that I said goodbye
And I never forgot that faithful Valentine
And I never forgot the tears in her eyes
[Chorus]
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
Seize the night, do your best to lose track of time
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
Cause if you know where you are when you wake up
If you know where you are when you wake up
If you know where you are when you wake up, something's wrong
Well if you blink, then you'll miss it
When the times are changing
Cause its out of fashion when its on TV
Before you know it, your eyes are aging
You're telling your kids - "That used to be me"
Well we got off the bus, a kiss on the cheek
I said "maybe I'll give you a call next week"
But we both know those calls will never come
Well as long as we're still breathing
There will be somewhere left to run
[Chorus]
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
Seize the night, do your best to lose track of time
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
Cause if you know where you are when you wake up
If you know where you are when you wake up
If you know where you are when you wake up, something's wrong
