lyrics

Close your eyes and listen to this lullaby
Realize there's nothing missing
It's no surprise these days and nights keep flying by
So close your eyes and listen

None can say how long things will remain this way
And my dismay is showing clearly
But it's okay, we'll meet again some sunny day
And in my mind you're always near me

Well we've got one day left
So let's have no regrets
Yeah we've got one day and one night left

Close your eyes and listen to this lullaby
Realize there's nothing missing
It's no surprise these days and nights keep flying by
So close your eyes and listen

Well we've got one day left
So let's have no regrets
Yeah we've got one day and one night left

Yes it's a shame
I can't deny that I feel the same way
I wish you would stay
I wish you would stay with me here
For one more day

You said our kisses feel like home
But tonight your lips are distant as a hitchhiker at midnight
Trying to forget the place that's missing
I know your bags are packed already
I know your eyes are on the road
But it's getting cold here on the shoulder of the highway
So let me hold you and be warm

I never told you
But the week after we fell in love
When you were away
And my mouth felt empty in your absence
I filled the lonely spaces with the song of your name
I used to sing it on repeat
Hoping one day my clumsy tongue would do that melody justice

I dusted off the ivory keys of your spine
And we wrote an etude for the night
I sang moonlight through my teeth
You played dawn from out your fingertips
And as an eclipse we came together in a twilight you'd wait a lifetime to see again
Science tells us these moments are possible
But only faith can get you near
You made me into a believer when, for the first time ever,
I didn't question my being here

Now I don't know where I'll be going
And I don't know about next year
But the alarm clock's click-ticking down the minutes to tomorrow
And your sadness burns these hours up like seconds
So pull your thumb in off the highway
Bring your lips back home to mine
Cause in the morning I'll be leaving
But tonight
Let's feel like we've arrived
