You catch my eye across the room,
I miss a step; you feel it too.
I laugh it off, you lean in close.
There's something I still need to know.
I said "I love you" that last night.
You couldn't even meet my eyes.
I took your silence as goodbye.
Tell me, did I get that right?

I'd lost my mom that day; I couldn't take it in.
You said you loved me, but the words weren't sinking in.
I shut you out. I didn't know what else to do.
I couldn't face myself, so how could I face you?
I saw you with him, thought you'd found a better life.
I should've told you, shouldn't have let you guess why.
You weren't asking much; I left you in the dark.
I'm sorry for the silence, for the years it kept us apart.

Now you're here, the room is spinning.
Tell me this is a beginning.

We've lost too many years,
Let's not lose tonight.
If you're gonna hold me,
Hold me in the morning light.

Not just tonight.

Then stay right here.

Not just tonight.
No more wasted years.

I found a way to look all right,
Someone to hold me late at night.
I smiled in every photograph,
Then went back home and dropped the act.
It wasn't fair to let him stay
When I still loved you every day.
We said goodbye before tonight.
Now if you're back, let's get this right.

I looked for you in everyone; it never felt the same.
Said that I was over you, still turned when I heard your name.
You're the one I want. I should've let it show.
I'll say the things I couldn't say, instead of letting go.

Will you run when this gets real?

No more hiding what I feel.

When the music fades away?

I'll be here. I'm here to stay.

We've lost too many years,
Let's not lose tonight.
If you're gonna hold me,
Hold me in the morning light.

Not just tonight.

Then stay right here.

Not just tonight.
No more wasted years.

Not just tonight.
You and I.
