Stay The Night
I still want you
I still need it
I know what we have
Is beyong repair and fix
I know already
I remember
I recall
I feel the fallout
The breakdown
But even now
With all this history
Shattered on the floor
I still reach for you
I still want more
Just give me
One more night
Just take it
For one more night
If I ddin't need it
I wouldn't ask for it
If I knew how
I would walk away
I would leave it
Let it go
I know
I should know better
But it hurts so much less
When we're together
And I can't take it
I can't stand it another night
I need you
And I want you to stay
Stay the night
One more night
You need me
You reach for me
One more time
The last time
We both say it outloud
Clear out the webs and lies
Lock eyes
Fall down together
It's better
Then it's ever been
And as we begin again
And come undone
One last time
I hear you breathe
I hear you whisper my name
As you breathe life into me
So one more time
The last time
So I say
Because I can't stand it
Won't take it
Not another night
I can't handle
Won't cope
Don't know where
Or how to undo this rope
From around our necks
So I hold tight
For one more night
And when you look in my eyes
And tell me
You love me one more time
I let you in
Like cigarette burns on my skin
And ask you
One more time
To stay the night
