One More Night


I'm falling hard

And fast

I don't need it to last

But I need the high

To get me by

For tonight

Stuck on the highway

Heading for nowhere fast

I just need you

One night

One more time

Can you get me by

 

I don't need it

But I want it

I'm ready to throw a fit

Over this

Just give me a kiss

Kiss me hello

Kiss me goodbye

Doesn't matter why

I just need something

To get me by

I need you

To tell me

To come over

Tell me

I won't feel this way

Forever

 

On my way over

I feel unsteady

With you so close

All I know

Is I need it

Tonight

Just enough

To push me over the edge

Just enough

To get me through

Another day

Another night without you

If one more time

Is all I get

I will bet

All I have

It won't be enough

I'll be right back for more

Give it till tomorrow

Till I'm at your back door

Begging for more

 

Just enough

You're all I need

All I need

To get me by

Through this week

Just give me anything

Anything will do

But I want you

I want it 

Here and now

Because I'm falling apart

And you took my heart

With you

When you left

And ever since

I haven't been myself

And so now

I need you

To make me better

Just get me by

One more day

One more night
