Lover Tonight

leave on the light, burnin' like a midday sun.
there's trouble tonight and i can feel it comin' on.
i'm home drunk again,
waitin' on the same old show,
just another lonely writer tryin' to make it down this road alone.

and lover, tonight, don't leave.
just one more kiss upon my cheek.
'cause it's just miles and time,
between this heart of yours and mine,
and lover, tonight, don't go.

i got a suicide mouth, but i'm dyin' to kill.
i tell you do what you want, cause hunny i know that you will.
a slap in the face is just like a knife in the heart,
but you cant' take it back now, darlin',
without leavin' a scar.

and lover, tonight, don't leave.
just one more kiss upon my cheek.
'cause it's just miles and time,
between this heart of yours and mine,
and lover, tonight, don't go.

and how do we get back to where we started, love?
and what do we do when everything is not enough?
oh, when all of your cards are played,
maybe we should just walk away.

and lover, tonight, don't leave.
just one more kiss upon my cheek.
'cause it's just miles and time,
between this heart of yours and mine,
and lover, tonight, don't go.
