Let's take it to the sunset
Give me something I can get
Why don't we make a bet

And for a few hours just forget -

That we're not supposed to be here

Dancing right in the middle of nowhere
Smoke drifting through our hair
And our laughter tainting the air

These few moments we have to spare

Drawing up theories

And living in stories

So here we build our own tiny skyscrapers
And paint the walls our favorite colors
Like those of sweet surrender

While walking down that road to forever

Maybe we won't even be together

After all these, tomorrow
We return to time the moments we borrow
When the sun paints the horizon with its promise
So tonight, we revel in this happy demise

I ask of you a simple wish

To give me something I can get
Something others do covet
Like your promise of an escape to Neverland
In the morning we'll return hand-in-hand

And even if I don't get both

I'll still be wasting another lifetime away
Trying to forget (imagine) that one night we came to stray.
