Foolish Kids

We pull up to your house it’s late at night Your dad he left on the porch light We sit parked in the pale moonlight Where we sat so many times before I say you should go in you’re late You say he’s already mad he can wait I just wanna control my own fate For just a few minutes more And so we sit there without a care I look at you I can’t help but stare I run my fingers through your hair And tell you I wanna stay here forever with you The night is quiet the world’s in bed You break the silence as you lift your head You say you know one day this will end But for tonight let’s just pretend We’ll dream of all that our lives could be Of our wedding day and starting our family And sure it won’t always be easy But it will be you and me till the end We lose ourselves in our fantasies Before we knew it was quarter to three Your dad is calling now he’s worried I wish I could stay right here forever with you I watch you walk up those steps alone I sit not quite ready to go home I turn the key and the engine moans Tonight has finally reached its end On the highway my headlights lead Me back home to reality And oh god ain’t it sobering Realizing what will never be Just a couple of foolish kids Making empty promises But even if nothing comes from them I wish I could stay right here forever with you Yeah I wish I could stay forever dreaming with you
