[Intro (Females-StreetDolls)]
We both know…
How tonight ends.
So don’t…
Say goodbye yet.
[Verse 1 (Male-ELIROBB)]
Your suitcase
By the doorway.
Half the room
Already gone.
Funny how
A house can echo
Before somebody
Leaves it.
You’re folding
All your memories
Into cardboard boxes.
I’m pretending
I don’t notice.
[Verse 2 (Females-StreetDolls)]
You’ve been quiet
All evening.
Looking everywhere
Except my eyes.
Maybe…
We’re both afraid
The first goodbye
Makes the rest real.
[Pre-Chorus (Both)]
If tomorrow
Changes everything…
Let’s pretend
It doesn’t
For one more night.
[Chorus (Both)]
So kiss me…
Like we’re still
Twenty-one.
Like tomorrow
Never comes.
Hold me
Like the world’s
Not pulling us apart.
If this is
The last time
You’ll call me yours…
Don’t let
Our last memory
Be walking
Out the door.
[Verse 3 (Male-ELIROBB)]
Remember
Dancing barefoot
On the kitchen floor?
No music.
Just us.
Those moments
Didn’t know
They’d become memories.
[Verse 4 (Females-StreetDolls)]
Remember
The late-night drives?
You always missed
The turn home.
I never told you…
I liked taking
The long way.
Because it meant
More time together.
[(ELIROBB)]
Funny how forever
Fits inside a photograph.
Funny how
A whole lifetime
Can disappear
Inside one bag.
Nobody teaches you
How to leave
Someone…
Who’s still
Standing there.
No screaming.
No cheating.
No blame.
Just two people
Watching love
Change its name.
[Dark orchestral solo]
[Bridge (StreetDolls)]
If we met again
Five years from now…
Would you recognize
The version of me
Who finally learned
How to let you go?
[Bridge Part II (ELIROBB)]
Maybe
Loving someone
Sometimes means
Knowing
When to stop
Holding on.
[Final Chorus (Both)]
So kiss me…
One last time.
Before
The sunrise.
Before
Our pictures
Turn into stories.
Before
Your voice
Becomes
A memory.
Hold me
Until tomorrow
Has no choice
But to find us.
Even if
It has to
Find us apart.
[Outro (Both)]
[StreetDolls:]
Thank you…
[ELIROBB:]
For loving me.
[StreetDolls:]
Even if…
[ELIROBB:]
We couldn’t stay.
[Together:]
Kiss me…
ELIROBB
