Lyrics:
There are times where I think if I had loved you I would know
Drawing shapes on your arms, on my back and watching falling snow
Sometimes I love too much too quickly, too close
Holding onto a daydream from a television show
But now, the more that I find out, the less I figure out
And i’ve been so lonely now
Would it be alright if I stayed?
Just for tonight
Just until I get better
Just for a little while
Make me a mistake
And kiss me right
Or we can settle for good friends
Oh my darling, would you help me escape?
Just for tonight
Just until I get better
Just for a little while
Make me a mistake
And kiss me right
The only time you notice is when I’m down on my knees
Is it for the better if it hurts this bad to leave?
Is it really love if it is something I can see?
All I’m really feeling every second is relief
But now, the more that I find out, the less I figure out
And i’ve been so lonely now
Would it be alright if I stayed?
Just for tonight
Just until I get better
Just for a little while
Make me a mistake
And kiss me right
Or we can settle for good friends
Oh my darling, would you help me escape?
Just for tonight
Just until I get better
Just for a little while
Make me a mistake
And kiss me right
Lay my head on your shoulder, a rough kiss on my cheek
Feel your steady breathing with an arm around my knees
My golden years, I gave them all up for free
Now I know you really got the best parts of me
But now, the more that I find out, the less I figure out
Would it be alright if I stayed?
Just for tonight
Just until I get better
Just for a little while
Make me a mistake
And kiss me right
Or we can settle for good friends
Oh my darling, would you help me escape?
Just for tonight
Just until I get better
Just for a little while
Make me a mistake
And kiss me right
