Spend The Night

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 are racing double the timeYou 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 that I needed to ask youWhy 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 clothes on and we'll leave on the lights

Only if you likeAnticipation taking hold and second thoughts will never get you the cure

Though it had occurred to me that this might go bad

The obsession got me stuck to the plan

I ran up the steps as my heart pumped fast

Then I knocked perhaps a bit too light

And she opened up the door wearing only her coat

And the smile that said "this better be worth it"
