Just for tonight, lie here with me,

I know I've been reckless, 

Dancing on tables and crying on bathroom floors,

Please forgive me, I've been looking so hard for you,

So long I've been waiting for you,

So wait for me, won't you please?

Hit the floor one more time, 

Harder this time than the next,

The ceilings are spinning again,

Nothing is what it seems, 

I'm grasping onto you like running water,

You're slipping.

I remember yesterday, 

As vividly as the window looking out over the rainy streets,

Disappearing memories fade rapidly,

Into a window sill kiss on the forehead,

Drowsy eyes, I'm content in your hold,

But please, just for tonight, please don't leave me.

Only under the stars, with only the moon to listen,

So far from everything we know,

Yellow memories lie beneath green eyes,

Three words rest upon my tongue,

Bubbling up before my lips,

They pour over the edge, as you lie with me here tonight.

And even if it's only for a night,

Love me back, hold me here,

Please don't leave me tonight,

I  need you here by my side,

And if forever's too much to ask,

Well, please just stay with me tonight.
