Sometimes when I lie
half awake in the night
the streetlights take
the form of your face.
The way that they twist
and they turn and they kiss.
But I wont settle for this
cold embrace.

So I'm here on all fours
feeling 'round for the door.
Gotta see you once more.
Please be soon,
'cause I'm tired of being
trapped under this ceiling
or starin' outside
at the moon.

One more hour in your arms
is all that I need to feel warm.
One last kiss and I'm gone
and I won't bother you anymore.

Do you still remember
that day in November
when I held your hand
in the park?
The light danced around you,
I was happy I found you.
Tell me, how did it end up
so dark?

Now I'm talking to shadows,
wond'rin' where does the time go?
I don't know, but I
waste too much.
If you want to ignore me,
it's prob'ly best for me.
I'm a fool and I acted
as such.

But if you find your heart changes,
if your hate rearranges
into something that I'll recognize,
don't brush it away, girl.
Find something to say, girl,
and we can begin to revise.

One more hour in your arms
is all that I need to be warm.
One kiss is all that it takes
to make all the light shine
once more.
