One Night

(album: INTO THE BLUE - 2022)

I've been alone for a second
Another year has come and gone
Thought I would call you and check in
See if you found where you might belong
Over and over I'm sleepless
Some kind of war zone in my head
We were so young and reckless
Down every hallway, another bed

One night and everything changes, I know
Back to the back of the line, I go
One night and your invitation, revoked
One night, stop and say "Hello"

Resenting the ones we depend on
But was I a steady hand to hold?
What other note could it end on?
I never knew I could be so cold
Losing our minds just a little
How can you not in a fragile world?
You had me square in the middle
Between a bad dream and a careless girl

One night and everything changes, I know
Back to the back of the line, I go
One night and your invitation, revoked
One night, stop and say "Hello"

You're lost in your bed when you turn out the lights
Perhaps you will dream tonight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
The games you play, a voice, you find
It all will fade, if I'm alright
It's fault that you fear in the bark and the bite
Tell me, where you can turn back time?
Before the day you gave up the right
To change my ways, to all my lies

One night and everything changes, I know
Back to the back of the line, I go
One night and never look up in the throat
One night, stop and say "Hello"
One night and everything changes, I know
Back to the back of the line, I go
One night and your invitation, revoked
One night, stop and say "Hello"

Pause and teach me to forget
Pause and teach me to forget
Pause the time, all I need is you
Pause and teach me to forget
Pause and teach me to forget
Thought you'd lie, there's no stopping you
