Midnight in Philadelphia

     Midnight in Philadelphia is one of those Lifehouse songs that has a vague name, like Simon, and Better Luck Next Time. It was released in 2005, but not as a part of any albums. There are different opinions on what the song is about. Some people think it's about God, but some of the lyrics suggest otherwise. Others think it's still about lead singer Jason Wade's father leaving his family when they divorced, but I personally think it's about a death. You hear lyrics I know that you are watching me somewhere over the moon shouting down that you love me wondering why I can't hear you.

    Either way, Midnight in Philadelphia is a quiet and beautiful song with deep lyrics. Lifehouse as a band was known for their deep and thought-provoking lyrics, which they have in every one of their songs. That's what makes them such a great band.

I know what it's like to hide
To sit in your room and break down and cry
And all I could say was your name
I've had my share of pain
But I know it's made me who I am today
So I look back with no regrets
I look back with no regrets

I know that you are watching me 
Somewhere over the moon
Shouting down that you love me
Wondering why I can't hear you
If only for a moment
If only in my mind
I could go back to the beginning
In the place where I felt like a child

I can tell you mean well by your eyes
But a father's intentions can be turned to lies
But nobody's perfect I guess
People will let you down
I followed the leader that fell to the ground
But you never left me alone
You never left me alone

I know that you are watching me 
Somewhere over the moon
Shouting down that you love me
Wondering why I can't hear you
If only for a moment
If only in my mind
I could go back to the beginning
In the place where I felt like a child

I know that you are watching me 
Somewhere over the moon
Shouting down that you love me
Wondering why I can't hear you
If only for a moment
If only in my mind
I could go back to the beginning
In the place where I felt like a child
