Not Tonight

This is a night
Where no one can sleep
We all stay awake 
With a thought so deep

We gave it away
The dreams of tonight
We all have one thing
That makes us feel right

It’s colder than winter
Outside of this wall
My body is burning
It yearns for your call

The touch of your lips 
Is what I need to keep
It’s that little thing
That won’t let me sleep
