It's getting late
And we're both tired
Driving the awkward drive.
Paying half attention
As you're pointing the way,
But our thoughts were racing double the time.
You told me your stories,
I told you mine,
But there's so much we neglected to say.
Driving back home
I had to turn right around.
There was something i needed to ask you:
«Why can't I just spend the night?
It's cold outside and there's
No place else I can go
And it feels so right
Why can't I just spend the night?
We'll keep our cloths on
And we'll leave on all the lights
Only if you like…»
Anticipation taking hold,
Second thoughts:
«Will never get you, the girl».
Though it had occurred to me
This might go bad.
The obsession
Kept stuck to the plan.
I ran up the steps
As my heart pumped fast,
Then I knocked perhaps a bit to light.
And she opened up the door
In only her coat
And a smile that said:
«This better be worth it»
«Why can't I just spend the night?
It's cold outside and there's
No place else I can go
And it feels so right
Why can't I just spend the night?
We'll keep our cloths on
And we'll leave on all the lights
Only if you like…»
