Spend The Night Lyrics
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
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
Anticipation taking hold and second thoughts will never get you the cure
Though it had occured to me that this might go bad
The obsession got me stuck to the plan
I ran up the steps as my heart pumped fast
Then i knocked perhaps a bit too light
And she opened up the door wearing only her coat
And the smile that said "this better be worth it"
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
Driving the awkward drive
Paying half attention as you're pointing the way
But our thoughts are racing double the time
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
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
Though it had occured to me that this might go bad
The obsession got me stuck to the plan
I ran up the steps as my heart pumped fast
Then i knocked perhaps a bit too light
And she opened up the door wearing only her coat
And the smile that said "this better be worth it"
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

Ahh, haha, goodgood song. I love the stories SWR tell lyrically.
this song sounds too much like Eurythmics.
That's because She Wants Revenge are influenced by New Order, much more New Order than JD, but the public thinks what they want because of Interpol.
This is pretty darkwave too, was my most listened to track before This is Forever was released
this is in with the story of the album :/ he loves her, she's not sure maybe he's older or there's another reason why they shouldn't be together but she's uneasy, but she stays with him for sex.
its about a couple on their first date. that's why the drive is awkward and he has no idea where he's going. he wants to hook up. but she's not having it. hehe. desperate.
