Back to the Night

I thought I had a lot 
I opened my eyes at eight 
It's past one 
And I never said good morning 
Hold on there 
Wait 
Don't run away I'm only talking 
Don't move a finger for one kiss


You can take all my pretty moonlight 
That's money to me 
Take charge of my reasoning 
Hold on 
Take a hold of me 
Make the body beautiful 
A huge old barrel 
Rust my car if you must 
Just don't go giving too much of yourself 
To everyone 
I swear 
Turn my body into dust


Just show me a clean face 
Clean as can be 
Either keep your hands to yourself 
Or stretch out and give them to me 
Need much more from you 
Than twenty four hours 
So much I don't have to rush 
Just don't go promoting yourself to everybody 
I'll sell my soul for your trust


There's so much that I want to do 
All I need is time 
No cost to you if you just go 'bout 
Your business 
And leave me alone to unwind 
For a long time
