Late Tonight Lyrics

(chorus)
stayed out late tonight
cos there's no going back
we've nothing left
stayed out late tonight
with hopes of stretching this
to make it last
she said
the sun will take you far from me
so let's not think about the morning


woke up on the beach
10 hours after dawn
when we met again
it went like it should
i laughed when she smiled
she smiled when i stood
i lit us a joint
the crowds just looked on
(and)

we picked the first stars from the sea
wondering who else could see them burning

(chorus)


picked up by the cops
we fell through the cracks
got back to the beach
as the lights went dim

got down on my knees and meant what i said
you laughed as you picked me up by the hand then
we swam out far beyond the breaks
knowing an ocean's coming our way

the surf sent us back to the beach
content now just using our bodies

(chorus)

(post script)
woke up with the sun as the stars escaped
used the light to burn your face into me
and i held you close as my flight's looming
but i loved the way you said til we meet again
