A Night Like This Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It goes dark, it goes darker still
Please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away
[Chorus 1]
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust, the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
[Verse 2]
Say hello on a day like today
Say it every time you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It goes deep, it goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head
And the smile and the shake of your head
[Chorus 2]
I’m coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can’t stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before
[Bridge]
Oh ho ho, I want to change it all
Oh ho ho, I want to change
[Chorus 2]
I’m coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can’t stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before
[Outro]
Oh ho ho, I want to change it all
Oh ho ho, I want to change
Oh ho ho, I want to change it all
Oh ho ho, I want to change
