Lyrics

It's getting too late to go outside
The trains are real strange this time of night
I'm feeling kinda hungry
Don't want to come down from this high
Cuz I've only just realized
That I'm drowning in your eyes


No I'm not perfect
But I hope you think it's worth it
I got a whole lotta love I can give you baby, give you baby, so

Stay a while, I don't mind if you
Stay a while, I would like just to
See your smile light my night
Can you stay a while

Take a seat, I don't care if you
Look at me, I don't care if we
Even speak, we'll get there eventually

I've got an old record you might like
I figured we could give this a try
And I don't need nothing
No promises you'll be mine
Just enjoying you in my sight
It's a different kind of ride


No I'm not perfect
But I hope you think it's worth it
I got a whole lotta love I can give you baby, give you baby, so

Stay a while, I don't mind if you
Stay a while, I would like just to
See your smile light my night
Can you stay a while

Take a seat, I don't care if you
Look at me, I don't care if we
Even speak, we'll get there eventually


I'll close my eyes you lean in close
The scent of you is almost breathable
Can't help but laugh you're in my hands
I've got my chance and I will reach for more
I will reach for more, I will reach for more, I will reach for more if you

Stay a while,
Oh if you would stay a while
Oh I wanna see your smile light my night
Oh if you could you stay a while

Would you take a seat
Would you look at me
We don't have to speak
We'll get there eventually
Won't you stay awhile
Would you take a seat
Would you look at me
We don't have to speak
We'll get there
Eventually

Keep up with Liv
