[Verse 1]
We fell in love in the city
I'd never seen it this cold
She said, "I hate how you're living"
Then pushed me against the wall

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I don't want to leave
It's a damn cold night
And I don't want to sleep
Oh, just tell me it's too late to drive

[Chorus]
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight with you?

[Post-Chorus]
Stay here (I've made too many promises)
Stay here (Don't make too many promises)
Stay here (You make it hard to be alone)
Here

[Verse 2]
I wasn't always a cynic
It's just I've been bought and sold
But you saw the beauty inside it
At twenty-seven years old
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I don't want to leave
It's a damn cold night
And I don't want to sleep
Oh, just tell me it's too late to drive

[Chorus]
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight with you?
Can I (Can I) stay here tonight?
Can I (Can I) stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight with you?

[Post-Chorus]
Stay here (I've made too many promises)
Stay here (Don't make too many promises)
Stay here (You make it hard to be alone)
Here

[Outro]
It's the promises
We break 'em every time
And every consequence
We kiss between the lines
And do it all again
I guess I just feel better around you
It's the promises
We make 'em every time
And every word you said
I hang on every line
I'd do it all again
I guess I just feel better around you
