I got the point that I should leave you alone, but we both know that I’m not that strong.
Stay.
I need some time, just deliver the things that I need for now.
Everything that I feel’s like a warm deep calm casting over me,
And it’s taking me to somewhere new.
If you believe that everything’s alright,
You won’t be all alone tonight.
And I’d be blessed by the light of your company,
Slowly lifting me to somewhere new.
Oh, can you tell? I haven’t slept very well,
Since the last time that we spoke. You said,
“Please understand if I see you again don’t even say hello.”
Please.
What a night it is, when you live like this.
And you’re coming up beneath the clouds,
Don’t let me down.
All the love’s still there, I just don’t know what to do with it now.
You know, I still can’t believe we both did some things.
I don’t even wanna think about.
Just say you love me and I’ll say, “I’m sorry,
I don’t want anybody else to feel this way.”
Oh, can you tell? I haven’t slept very well,
Since the last time that we spoke. I said,
“Please understand I’ve been drinking again, and all I do is hope.”
Please stay.
I’ll admit I was wrong about everything,
Cause I’m high and I don’t wanna come down.
All the fun that we had on your mother’s couch,
I don’t even wanna think about.
I’m not strong enough for the both of us,
What was I supposed to do?
You know I love you,
Please just stay.
So why’d you have to go? Is there something I could say to make you turn around? ‘Cause nights like these, I wish I’d said “don’t go.”
I’ll have you know I’m scared to death that everything that you had said to me was just a lie until you left.
And you’re still out of my reach, and you’re still all of the things that I want in my life.
Take This to Heart.
‘Cause I’m a mess, and you know that I can’t help it.
The drive home never seemed this long before.
We’re killing time just a little bit faster,
And I swear we’ll make it.
But I can’t tell you what I don’t know.
Be mine tonight, be mine tonight.
The simple things, they make my heart go.
Be mine tonight, be mine tonight.
But I can’t tell you what I don’t know,
You’ll have to wait
Stay safe,
Stay strong,
And let me know that you’ll be here while I am gone.
Because I’m coming home,
Coming home tonight,
Let’s get this right.
I said I’m coming home,
Coming home tonight.
You said it hurts, and you know that I believe you.
Searching every little thing to find a way.
Tell your heart just to wait a little longer,
I swear we’ll make it.
But I can’t tell you what I don’t know.
Be mine tonight, be mine tonight.
The simple things, they make my heart go.
Be mine tonight, be mine tonight.
But I can’t tell you what I don’t know,
You’ll have to wait
Stay safe,
Stay strong,
And let me know that you’ll be here while I am gone.
Because I’m coming home,
Coming home tonight,
Let’s get this right.
I said I’m coming home,
Coming home tonight.
One more night,
And we’ll go spinning around the room.
And dance with our hearts on fire,
Cause every song is ours tonight.
And if you love me so,
I’m gonna tell the whole world,
That it’s the greatest thing that’s happened to me.
I finally found a good reason to come home.
Then you dropped a note, and we changed key. You changed yourself, and that changed me. I really didn’t see us singing through this. Then you screamed the bridge, and I cried the verse, and our chorus came out unrehearsed. And you smiled the whole way through it, I guess maybe that’s what’s worse.
