🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Midnight 'til morning
  • Call if you need somebody
  • I will be there for you (I will be there for you)
  • Midnight 'til morning

Echo the hook

  • Take my hand and hold on
  • Tell me everything that you need to say
  • 'Cause I know how it feels to be someone
  • Feels to be someone who loses their way
