It's been a black velvet kind of night,
This shit happens all the time
What's your name again?
Are you my friend?
I don't know where this all began
I just wanna know
Can you take me home?
It's been another lonely weekend
We're all just trying to get it in
I don't wanna know what you're doing tomorrow
I just, I wanna know
Can you take me home?
Let's walk the ave,
Let's get real bad
Let's forget everything we've ever had before tonight
You are mine, I'm your stranger
Tonight, you are mine, I'm your danger
Can you take me home?

Sunshine, creeping through my window as I close my eyes
Fall back into bed it was a long night
I can't find the words to say
Emotions, running from my tongue like a bird is
Running from a gun, it was a long night
I can't find a word to say
Fallin', try to catch my words but they keep
Fallin, spilling out my mouth and now I'm crawling
back to where this all began
Midnight, halfway through a bottle and it feels right
Oh, i think I got it then it's gone like
I can't find a word to say
Driving, try to keep my eyes inside the lines
While my mind is racing, didn't anticipate this
Oh, how I want you now
Fallin', try to catch my words but they keep
Fallin, spilling out my mouth and now I'm crawling
back to where this all began

Sleeves

It never takes too long before I'm fallin' in to your arms again
Stop trying to fight, I think you kind of like it
We've been here before,
me knocking on your door
with a flower in my hand
making all my demands saying
We're just the right amount of
can we work this out and
I've had it up to here I'll
see you in a year
You turn away to leave,
I grab you by the sleeve
Start to pull you in and say
This isn't how this ends
It never takes too long before I'm fallin' in to your arms again
Stop trying to fight, I think you kind of like it
We've been here before,
laying on this floor
distracted by sensations and
locked in conversations
I can't help myself
you turn me into someone else
Got me on my knees
Begging you oh please
You turn away to leave,
I grab you by the sleeve
Start to pull you in and say
This isn't how this ends
It never takes too long before I'm fallin' in to your arms again
Stop trying to fight, I think you kind of like it
Maybe it's the time or the place
Maybe it's that look that you get upon your face
Or maybe it's the way you hold me
Maybe it's the way you love me but
It never takes too long before I'm fallin' in to your arms again
Stop trying to fight, I think you kind of like it

Sweet Honey

I will be your moon,
if you will be my sky
I promise I will follow you
until the end of the line
I will be your flower,
if you will be the bee
I promise I will always give you
the sweetest parts of me
You're the tick to my tock,
the key to my lock
You're my breakfast in the morning
The king to my crown,
the up to my down,
and everything I want
You got that sweet, sweet, sweet honey
I want it, so give it to me
I will be your candle,
if you will be my flame
I promised I will follow you as long
as you keep lighting my way
I will be your smoke
If you my cigarette
I will be the sunshine
if you'll be my silhouette
You're the tick to my tock,
the key to my lock
You're my breakfast in the morning
The king to my crown,
the up to my down,
and everything I want
You got that sweet, sweet, sweet honey
I want it, so give it to me

It's a Tuesday night,
staring after the sunlight
While I'm out in the rain
Saying oh lord, I've done it again
Theres a devil on my shoulder,
every year that I get older
I try to turn away but he's got too much to say
He's saying 'Take it, drink it, turn around and leave it
Go in, just knowing you're gonna feel it burn'
Burn, Burn, Burn
Half past midnight,
I've been walking round in circles
Wondering why I can't pull it together
I'm feeling under the weather
so I finish the bottle and I feel so much better
Theres a devil on my shoulder,
every year that I get older
I try to turn away but he's got too much to say
He's saying 'Take it, drink it, turn around and leave it
Go in, just knowing you're gonna feel it burn'
Burn, Burn, Burn
