Spend the Night

[Verse 1]
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 are 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 that I needed to ask you

[Chorus]
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 the lights
Only if you like

[Verse 2]
Anticipation taking hold
And second thoughts will never get you the girl
Though it had occurred to me that this might go bad
The obsession kept me stuck to the plan
I ran up the steps as my heart pumped fast
And then I knocked perhaps a bit too light
Then she opened up the door wearing only her coat
And a smile that said this better be worth it

[Chorus]
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 the lights
Only if you like
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 the lights
Only if you like
