I can't tell you why And I can't tell you why Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live Through years in the dark?

We won't run and hide I'm passing over you like a satellite So catch me if I fall That's why you stick to your game plans and party lives But at night we're conspiring by candlelight We are the orphans of the American dreams Oh shine your light on me

Let 'er rip, let it fly So if you're gonna say goodbye, don't take all day and night Come on baby, say it, do you think I'm gonna cry I ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die I can tell there's something you don't wanna tell me It's killing you

Even the stars fall for you Every star up in the sky Has got your name on it tonight And they don't stand a chance like I know I don't And girl you can't tell me that you can't see The kind of spell you put on me You gotta know just what you do I

We can just stay here in this minute Lose all track of time Let the world spin on without us for a while I'm tellin' you, we're just one kiss away from heaven So baby, hold on tight 'Cause I want to get wrapped up in your love So baby, let's just stay

Don't know quite what to say, haven't seen you in seven ages Can you tell that it's me, or is my picture on torn out pages? And you think it's real, but it's just another future deal And you know you're right, 'cause you've waited for it all night Then

And I can't tell you why I can't tell you why Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live Through years in the dark?

Baby lie to me 'cause I couldn't stand the truth And I couldn't bear the thought of losin' you Baby lie to me, tell me everything's all right And when I'm sound asleep, you can fade into the night Girl, instead of sayin' goodbye Girl look at you right

Oh no, you can't do that once you started wearin' those shoes Tell us what you're gonna do tonight, momma There must be someplace you can go In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama There must be someone you know God knows you're lookin' good

Baby lie to me 'cause I couldn't stand the truth And I couldn't bear the thought of losin' you Baby lie to me, tell me everything's all right And when I'm sound asleep, you can fade into the night Girl, instead of sayin' goodbye Girl look at you right
