Lyrics

I wanna lover, I wanna lover, I can't control
You left me waiting, you left me waiting out in the cold
I know you try so hard to be so hard to get
But I can hear the way you talk under your breath
I wanna lover, I wanna lover, I can't avoid
I see your picture, I see your picture with other boys
The only one, the only that gives me hell
Sometimes it feels like I'm just talking to myself

Far away
You got me standing in the outfield
By the way
Sometimes it's almost like you're not real
I always swore that I would get to you some day
I'm getting closer, but I'm still so far away
You got me standing in the outfield

I wanna touch you, I wanna touch you, I lose control
don't want another, don't want another, I need your soul, oh
Tonight, just another toy left on the floor
Sometimes I feel like walking up to your front door, yeah, but I'm so

Far away
You got me standing in the outfield
By the way
Sometimes it's almost like you're not real
I always swore that I would get to you some day
I'm getting closer, but I'm still so far away
You got me standing in the outfield

You know I want you, do you wanna let me on you?
If you wanna tell me why you gotta be so hard to get
You know I want you, do you wanna let me on you?
If you wanna tell me why you gotta be so hard to get

Far away
You got me standing in the outfield
By the way
Sometimes it's almost like you're not real, oh
I always swore that I would get to you some day
I'm getting closer, but I'm still so far away
You got me standing in the outfield

You know I want you, do you wanna let me on you?
If you wanna tell me why you gotta be so hard to get
You know I want you, do you wanna let me on you?
If you wanna tell me why you gotta be so hard to get

Red, White and Bruised: The Midnight Live is the first live album by The Midnight. It was initially released on April 22, 2023, exclusively to independent record stores as part of Record Store Day 2023[1] before getting a widespread release on September 1, 2023.[2]

Background

On February 13, 2023, a short soundbite of Tyler Lyle from a live show was shared to the band's socials, with a cryptic date of February 16 given.[3] On that day, Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live was officially announced with a small trailer and was slated for release on April 22, exclusively on vinyl through independent record stores as part of Record Store Day 2023.[4] The songs on the album were recorded throughout various shows during The Midnight's 2022 tours in North America and Europe.

1300 copies of Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live were pressed across three different colors - red, white, and blue - with the color not being known until opening the record.[5][6] The album was promoted with a live acoustic performance by Lyle at Criminal Records in Atlanta, GA on the day of release.[7][8] It was hinted that the album would be made available again at some point in the future.[8][9]

On August 15, 2023, it was revealed that Red, White, and Bruised: The Midnight Live would have a full release on all platforms on September 1.[2] Heroes was released as a single from the album on the same day and was accompanied by a corresponding live music video. In addition to vinyl, the album was also available in cassette form for the first time. The digital and cassette versions contain eight new tracks in addition to the eight included on the original vinyl release.
