lyrics

I cannot squeeze you in an hour's dress,
I wouldn't rush to take it off.
When we're young we can't enjoy the taste,
When we're old we've had enough.

So stay awake, with me,
Let's stay awake, when we can't sleep.

You cannot pin me in an evening suit,
Don't confine my progress there,
It'll take some days just to taste this smile,
And your lips could take a year.

So stay awake, with me,
Let's stay awake, when we can't sleep.

Hey love, this time is not for us,
Oh but, in this moment there's still time enough
When I'm with you, evening blue,
In darkest night, there's still light
In countless stars, we'll count them all
Before we fall, fall asleep.

Got time, got time.
