From the recording If & When
Lyrics
Stars cross just as night falls
Lovers and light bulbs
Turn on as the evening takes the day
They say nothing good happens after the sun passes
Out of our sight, but who are they?
When I was caught in puppy love
Curfew wasn't late enough
Mama would be waitin' up 'til I get home
I let you make up my mind 'cause I don't trust myself
So if I'm leavin', I'm leavin' it up to you to tell me
'Cause I can't do this on my own
Are you just gonna let me go?
Mm, it's a long drive home
And I need to get back 'fore the streetlights come on
The streetlights come on
First kisses and fireflies
The wind whistlin' lullabies
And you're like a late night caffeine high
They say if you love something, let it go, let it come
But I've never been the waiting type run-on home
Run away with me, but you gotta go somewhere
And if you're leavin', I'm leavin' it up to you, so tell me
'Cause I can't do this on my own
Are you just gonna let me go?
Mm, it's a long drive home
And I need to get back 'fore the streetlights come on
The streetlights come on
We should be countin' sheep (Shouldn't we, shouldn't we, shouldn't we)
My mama'll be callin' me (Ooh)
Kiss me so I can't speak
Say you don't want me to leave
Oh, are you just gonna let me go?
Mm, it's a long drive home (It's a long drive)
And I need to get back 'fore the streetlights come on
The streetlights come on
You just gonna let me go? (Are you just gonna let me go?)
Oh, it's, it's a long drive home (So long)
And I need to get back 'fore the streetlights come on
The streetlights come on
