[Verse 1]
How bout now?
How bout never?
Maybe you could be a star
Maybe I couldn't do better
Maybe we, we took it too far
I'm not saying no one's happy
But I'm not gonna lie
The way you smile when everyone's laughing gets me every time
[Chorus]
Between your lips and fading lights
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
And I love the way you twist the knife
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
[Verse 2]
Have a look
Why'd you go sideways?
Where did you, you learn those words?
Maybe I set it on fire
Maybe we wanna watch it burn
[Chorus]
Between your lips and fading lights
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
And I love the way you twist the knife
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
[Bridge]
Let it go in slow motion
Let it go in slow motion
I don't wanna say goodnight
I don't wanna say goodbye
I'm not saying no one's happy
But I'm not gonna lie
The way you smile when everyone's laughing gets me every time
[Chorus]
Between your lips and fading lights
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
And I love the way you twist the knife
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
[Outro]
And I love the way you twist the knife, yeah
We're gonna get no sleep tonight, no
And I love the way you twist the knife, yeah
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
