At Night

"At Night"

La la lies of
Love keep us up at night
Cause we don't feel quite right
And

A long walk home
What a slow pace we own
We take our time because
When

They all cross the finish line
They drop us well behind
We're not good at the chase
We're not ever first place

La la la, la la lies
We're never anyone's first place
La la la, home at night
Sometimes wondering why we try.

---

The sun sets fast
Baby our time...won't last
I was thinking
You should stay here...tonight

It was springtime
When I wrote these lines
The warmer air comes in
When we left the window open

And we'll lie here
But not to each other
But rather on this bed now
Not waiting for time to run out

Cause we're not in the race for this
They're in the lead and leading us on
And if it means giving up our first place
We'll run together at our own pace

I'll forget those dreams
They mean nothing
If you would stay

And I could love you
If I had to
If you would stay

Here, at night.
