late nite
we see red lights.
and stop signs
we say go go go.
we see our parents
and videos
they say no no no.
we see the world through rose colored glasses.
i think you look cute this way.
you tell me everything i want to hear
you say it sincere.
it’s sometime after dark
but the night is still so young
we’re not quite seventeen
but forever doesn’t seem so long.
we see a rainstorm.
and no train.
we say go go go.
we’re waiting for the next stoplight.
try and tell us no.
it might be late at night
but i’ve got the feeling you might be right
distance seems shorter and time seems so miniscule
i want to spend this night,
rapped up in a blanket with you.
and you say i love you.
and you mean it to.
i say i love you.
we speed up; stop-and-go.
if you want me just say so.
