Just for Tonight

Let’s go back to five years ago,

Your new apartment, just us, you know.

A mattress on the floor, no plans, no rules,

But we were young and invincible fools.

We had nothing, but it felt like gold,

We didn’t care if the nights got cold.

Your arms were home, your love was the fire,

Now I’m stuck here, chasing what we had prior.

So close your eyes, let’s hit rewind,

Turn back the clock, leave it all behind.

For one more night, let’s make it real,

Pretend I didn’t break the deal.

Just for tonight, let’s rewrite the past,

Back to the moment we thought we’d last.

We’ll laugh, we’ll love, like we used to do,

Waking up wrapped in the glow of you.

No mistakes, no tears in sight,

Let’s make it perfect, just for tonight.

Let’s pretend I didn’t let you go,

Five years ago, when love was all we’d know.

You looked at me like I was the moon,

Like every heartbeat was meant to tune.

The hum of our life in that empty room,

So much love, no space for gloom.

But I played my cards, and I played them wrong,

Lost the melody of our favorite song.

Now I’d trade it all for a second chance,

To bring us back to that first romance.

So let’s pretend the cracks don’t show,

We’re still the dreamers we used to know.

One night’s enough to make it feel true,

I’ll be the me that deserved you.

Just for tonight, let’s rewrite the past,

Back to the moment we thought we’d last.

We’ll laugh, we’ll love, like we used to do,

Waking up wrapped in the glow of you.

No mistakes, no tears in sight,

Let’s make it perfect, just for tonight.

Let’s pretend I didn’t let you go,

Five years ago, when love was all we’d know.

If I could hold onto this time machine,

I’d take us back to what could’ve been.

Erase the hurt, rewrite the lies,

Stay in your arms, forget goodbyes.

We’re here right now, let’s make it last,

A stolen moment to outshine the past.

(Chorus)

Just for tonight, let’s rewrite the past,

Back to the moment we thought we’d last.

We’ll laugh, we’ll love, like we used to do,

Waking up wrapped in the glow of you.

No mistakes, no tears in sight,

Let’s make it perfect, just for tonight.

Let’s pretend I didn’t let you go,

Five years ago, when love was all we’d know.

The morning’s coming, but don’t let it show,

For now, it’s five years ago.

On that mattress, I’ll stay in your arms,

Safe from the world, safe from the harm.

Just for tonight, let’s pretend it’s true,

That I never stopped loving you.
