Come Over Tonight

The sun left the stage, And the blue-black horizonStole the last of my kind words, I've nothing to say.As we walk 'neath the street lampThat's flickering onI suggest that we dance, But you just laugh it off.Summer love once was easy, But innocence, she's fleetingAnd I'm not as young as I once was.And your eyes look as tired asA midwestern sky afterThree days of thunderstormsBut couldn't we try... My painted words, Tell me what they're worth.And come over tonightIf you want me.Come over tonight, Spend some time.I won't ask for forever, How 'bout til the light?Won't you lay with me here for a whileAnd come over tonight.Recalling the wayThat a candle between usCasts shadows that seem to make senseAnd there's music in FrenchI don't quite understandAs my awkward advances, theyMade us both laugh.Now harsh words like trust, desire and loveAre just sand in the ocean for usCause there's too much at stake, And we couldn't explain, So for now, can't we just pretendThat this is enough?My painted words, Tell me what they're worth.And come over tonightIf you want me.Come over tonight, Spend some time.I won't ask for forever, How 'bout til the light?Won't you lay with me here for a whileAnd come over tonight.Come over tonightIf you want me.Come over tonight, Spend some time.I won't ask for forever, Forever's too long.Won't you lay with me here for a while, Won't you lay with me here for a while, Won't you lay with me here for a while, And come over tonight.
