Spend The Night

It's getting late
And we're both tired
Driving the awkward drive
Paying half attention as you're pointing the way
But our thoughts were racing double the time
You told me your stories
I told you mine
But there's so much we neglected to say
Driving back home
I had to turn right around
There was something I needed to ask you:

Why can't I just spend the night?
It's cold outside and there's
No place else I can go
And it feels so right
Why can't I just spend the night?
We'll keep our clothes on
And we'll leave on all the lights
Only if you like

Anticipation taking hold
Second thoughts will never get you the girl
Though it had occurred to me this might go bad
The obsession kept stuck to the plan
I ran up the steps
As my heart pumped fast
Then I knocked perhaps a bit to light
And she opened up the door
In only her coat
And a smile that said
'This better be worth it'

Why can't I just spend the night?
It's cold outside and there's
No place else I can go
And it feels so right
Why can't I just spend the night?
We'll keep our clothes on
And we'll leave on all the lights
Only if you like
