History may repeat itself
But tonight is a stake in the ground of time
Rooted in the day
Never to grow old
"We will never have tonight again"
Leave no thoughts unvoiced
Say whatever you are thinking
No regrets
After all, open forums are tough to come by
And here exists one
For a short while
So speak your mind
Invite all the elephants
Into the room
Indulge
"We will never have tonight again"
Find the words
You thought were impossible
But the world needs them
But I need them
But you need them
And there will be no more perfect timing
No second chances
There is only tonight
And the weight that needs not
Rest upon your shoulders

But I need them
But you need them
And there will be no more perfect timing
No second chances
There is only tonight
And the weight that needs not
Rest upon your shoulders
