The sun left the stage
And the blue-black horizon
Stole the last of my kind words
I've nothing to say
As we walk 'neath the street lamp
That's flickering on
I suggest that we dance
But you just laugh it off

Summer love once was easy
But innocence, she's fleeting
And I'm not as young as I once was
And your eyes look as tired as
A midwestern sky after
Three days of thunderstorms
But couldn't we try...

My painted words
Tell me what they're worth

And come over tonight
If you want me
Come over tonight
Spend some time
I won't ask for forever
How 'bout til the light?
Won't you lay with me here for a while
And come over tonight
Recalling the way
That a candle between us
Casts shadows that seem to make sense
And there's music in French
I don't quite understand
As my awkward advances, they
Made us both laugh

Now harsh words like trust, desire and love
Are just sand in the ocean for us
Cause there's too much at stake
And we couldn't explain
So for now, can't we just pretend
That this is enough?

My painted words
Tell me what they're worth

And come over tonight
If you want me
Come over tonight
Spend some time
I won't ask for forever
How 'bout til the light?
Won't you lay with me here for a while
And come over tonight
Come over tonight
If you want me
Come over tonight
Spend some time
I won't ask for forever
Forever's too long
Won't you lay with me here for a while
Won't you lay with me here for a while
Won't you lay with me here for a while
And come over tonight
