Wish We Stayed Here Tonight (wersja 2)

Verse

Sand in the glass where your hand rests still

Palm fronds catching red just past your shoulder line

Aunty calls from inside with her gentle tone

But I got you here alone on this quiet road of mine

Pre-Chorus

Hold the bottle, let the night keep spinning round

Can't we stay right here where our shadows are found

Nothing left to prove, just the sound of the drums in my chest

Keep moving slow like we always do with the rest

Chorus

Wish we stayed here tonight

Watch the stars come up behind your eyes

Never wanted tomorrow, just this one night

Wish we stayed right here, holding on to this light

Verse 2

Candle flame flickers soft gold on your skin so fine

Mosquito buzzes steady as our hearts keep time

Sister's laughter fading from the room door wide

Every second slipping by like a tide back into the sea

Your feet in my palm and I don't want to let go

Hold this moment close, watch it rise up slow

Pre-Chorus

Hold the bottle, let the night keep spinning round

Can't we stay right here where our shadows are found

Nothing left to prove, just the sound of the drums in my chest

Keep moving slow like we always do with the rest

Chorus

Wish we stayed here tonight

Watch the stars come up behind your eyes

Never wanted tomorrow, just this one night

Wish we stayed right here, holding on to this light

Bridge

Not a clock ticking, not a voice calling us to move

Just you and me beneath these branches, where nothing else proves

If the whole world stops at this one single place

I want to stay with you here in time and space

Chorus

Wish we stayed here tonight

Watch the stars come up behind your eyes

Never wanted tomorrow, just this one night

Wish we stayed right here, holding on to this light
