After Midnight

summer, low-down under city lightsverano, abajo bajo las luces de la ciudad

and the dress is way low-keyy el vestido es muy discreto

the hearts in the queue all beat in timelos corazones en la fila laten al unísono

for as far as the eye can seehasta donde alcanza la vista

and even if it seems that they're drifting awayy aunque parezca que se están alejando

he is gripping her hand so tightél le agarra la mano tan fuerte

he takes a deep breath and he tries to saytoma una respiración profunda e intenta decir

that he's leaving her after midnightque la dejará después de medianoche

flickering signs and the neon flamesseñales intermitentes y las llamas de neón

all distract their riddled mindstodos distraen sus mentes confundidas

and everyone smiles as they lose the saney todos sonríen mientras pierden la cordura

but she stops to check the timepero ella se detiene para mirar la hora

and a tear rolls down as the seconds fally una lágrima cae mientras los segundos pasan

and she's gripping his hand so tighty ella le agarra la mano tan fuerte

she takes a deep breath and she tries to saytoma una respiración profunda e intenta decir

"don't leave me here after midnight""no me dejes aquí después de medianoche"

and her mother told hery su madre le dijo

"i was once like you,"una vez fui como tú,

it'll all be overtodo terminará

and it will seem too soon."y parecerá demasiado pronto."

she's watching her sun go downella está viendo su sol ponerse

she's watching the stars burn outestá viendo las estrellas apagarse

after midnightdespués de medianoche
