We cut the hours from eight down to four
We met in a town that I've never been before
It's too cold for walking so we drove to some local bar
That look in your eyes, felt like a kiss
I've never felt a moment I knew I would miss
So dance with me darling, hold on like you'll never let go

And don't take me away, like night meets the day
I don't wanna be like the sun when it rains
Here in your arms, I feel so alive
I've never been so scared to die
But how do I escape when it's time to say
"I wish I could stay"?

You probably ignore it when other guys say it
And blame it on alcohol
And you won't admit it, you can tell that I meant it
'Cause love gets the best of us all
We came to meet, but we didn't know
We'd be talking like it's been twenty years down the road
That's what it's like to be strays who ain't so alone

So don't take me away, like night meets the day
I don't wanna be like the sun when it rains
Here in your arms, I feel so alive
I've never been so scared to die
How do I escape when it's time to say
"I wish I could stay"?
Yeah-ah

Don't take me away, like night meets the day
I don't wanna be like the sun when it rains
Here in your arms, I feel so alive
I've never been so scared to die
How do I escape when it's time to say
"I wish I could stay"?

But how do I escape when it's time to say
"I wish I could stay"?
