We lay by the river
Watched the sky turn from blue to black
Made it hard to find our way back
And the moon it guided us
And everybody made a fuss
With torches and such
And then there was a long drive home
And we got pulled over by the cops
It was a long drive home
And it was time to go to bed
There was no more to be said

We lay by the river
And we laughed a little
Then it grew cold
And the night felt so old
And I knew it was time to go to bed
It was time to go to bed

We talk a lot in our fashion
What does it all mean
Suddenly I don't feel so serene
When the dust settles
And your conscience is eased
It'll be time to go to bed

And we left a trail
Everywhere we went
And it was worth every cent
Now its time to go to bed
We could've slept there all night
Could've waited for the morning light
But it'd still be too late
It was just time to go to bed

There's always gonna be a daybreak
You're always gonna have to justify yourself to someone
But its a little too late now
It's time to go to bed
There's nothing more to be said
It's time to go to bed
