I sleep better on my own
But I still wanna take you home
You sleep better when we’re two
I’d like to give up my sleep for you
This seemed like perfect reasoning to me
When I was sixteen drinking your father’s chablis

You smiled and said to me: I’m glad we’re friends, but we’re too drunk to even make sense
Please stay to see what happens while we - stay up tonight
I laughed and assured you: No, I won’t go home, let’s dance ‘til the morning comes along
I don’t care as long as we stay up - stay up tonight

Cause we were drinking just to feel it
And we always sang like we believed it
Colours were brighter after curfew
Now I’m allowed to stay up at night
We were drinking just to feel it
And we always sang like we believed it
Shadows were darker after curfew
Now I’m allowed to stay up at night

Tell me what I’m gonna say
You can see my eyes are crossed from a mile away
My parents they will know
They could probably tell from my shaky shadow
This seemed like a storm headed towards me
When I was sixteen drinkin’ your father’s chablis

You smiled and said to me: I’m glad we’re friends, but we’re too drunk to even make sense
Please stay to see what happens while we - stay up tonight
I laughed and assured you: No, I won’t go home, let’s dance ‘til the morning comes along
I don’t care as long as we stay up - stay up tonight

Cause we were drinking just to feel it
And we always sang like we believed it
Colours were brighter after curfew
Now I’m allowed to stay up at night
We were drinking just to feel it
And we always sang like we believed it
Shadows were darker after curfew
Now I’m allowed to stay up at night
