(Verse 1)
The phone is buzzing on the sheets
Another text, another "sweet dreams"
You’re being careful, being kind
But you’re messing with my mind.
We talked for hours, kept it light
About the weather and the fight
To keep things civil, keep things clean
But I’m seeing ghosts on this glowing screen.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m tired of the distance, tired of the act
Tired of ignoring the simple fact
That while you’re safe inside your room
I’m pacing here, fighting off the gloom.
One glass down, maybe two
And everything is leading back to you.
(Chorus)
I want to drink all night long
I don't want to feel loneliness anymore
I’m drowning out the "right" and "wrong"
Until I’m standing at your door.
I want you by my side right now
I want you here tonight
Forget the promise, break the vow
I need your lips on mine
Hold me tight to you
Just like you used to do.
(Verse 2)
You say we’re better off apart
While you’re still holding onto my heart
You call me daily just to check
But I want your breath against my neck.
You’re so composed, you’re so polite
But politeness doesn't keep me warm at night.
I need the fire, I need the crash
I need to feel the lightning flash.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m tired of the distance, tired of the act
Tired of ignoring the simple fact.
One glass down, maybe three
Why is it so hard for you to see?
(Chorus)
I want to drink all night long
I don't want to feel loneliness anymore
I’m drowning out the "right" and "wrong"
Until I’m standing at your door.
I want you by my side right now
I want you here tonight
Forget the promise, break the vow
I need your lips on mine
Hold me tight to you
Just like you used to do.
(Bridge)
I know you’re trying to be the friend
I know you think that this is the end
But if I drove to you right now
Would you really turn me down?
If I showed up on your street
Would your heart skip a beat?
Or would you let me in?
And let the "mistake" begin?
(Guitar/Synth Solo)
(Slow, hazy, seductive melody)
(Chorus)
I want to drink all night long
I don't want to feel loneliness anymore
I want you by my side right now
I want you here tonight
I need your lips on mine
Hold me tight to you
(Outro)
Hold me tight to you...
I don't want to be lonely.
Not tonight.
I want you here tonight.
(Sound of a glass set down on a table)
(Silence)
