Tonight

Take the pain
and drown it deep
throw it down 
the hill that's so steep

Realize there's only one
that I think of
Standing on the edge of love
Give me that gentle shove

The way you say my name
The look in your eyes
The smile on your face
To the tears you cry

Everything about you
Turns my world upside down
I'm running in circles
around and around

I got that feeling
in the pit of my stomach
I feel so great
I can't get enough of it

I will take my love
and give my heart to you
For what you gave me
it's the least I could do

Lay you down
in that low dim light
all the problems
we just lose sight

kiss you tenderly
on your soft, soft skin
look at you
and then do it again

intertwine your fingers
with the ones of my own
fireworks blasting over head
have finally shown

we got tonight
lets set the world on fire
don't worry about tomorrow
I'm done with the lows, you take me higher
