The song of midnight is shouting out
Truth is, I was lonely
Even if it gets erased in the radiance of the sun
Should we wave the flag now? Should we come together?
Should we just sing? Anything is fine
There’s just the question of whether or not you’ll be here or not

Mark the beginning of the third chorus: 'the song of midnight is shouting out.' In each previous verse, it was 'the song of midnight shouted out.' So that marks that this isn't a memory of the past, or a problem that's passed us by. It's right here, and right now. Then comes that confession, 'truth is I was lonely.' In each previous verse, the phrase was 'I hate being alone.' Now, comes the confession that I was alone, and that ties into every other line, i.e. 'I've known what's important since that day' and 'I hate... not knowing whether You'll keep on being alone.' Everything else makes more sense with this integral piece of knowledge.
The next part of the phrase is 'Even if it gets erased in the radiance of the sun.' Essentially, there's this confession that I was lonely, regardless of all the good things that've happened since then. No matter how great things are now, the truth is, I was lonely.
And then there's that little part where you can just visualize two people trying to get to each other. Do you think they should wave the flags? Or sing? In the end, it doesn't matter as long as they get to somebody.
'Anything is fine... there's just the question of whether or not you'll be here or not.'
Despite redundancy in that last line, it really gets to me. It's a sort of, "it really doesn't matter what we do, so long as we stop being alone."
