let me tell you straight
look into my eyes
you know what i'll say

a burning at both ends
candles in the night
i ain't got no shame

now tell me where else would you go
in the morning we can fight
in the shadows of ourselves
a job is just a job
stay a little while

leave but i know that you want it
cause so am i
i know the morning is calling
for alibis
let them that be your covering
from time to time
leave but i know that you want it
cause so am i

oh if we could be on and on we said
and never turn it off
when the spirit it moves me into you
let's see what we got
show yourself the way i wanna see
it's feeling like a crime
lock me up for good
throw away the key
i'll do the time

just let it go
and stay a little while
no one will know
what's on our minds
just let it go
and stay a little while
just let it go

and leave but i know that you want it
cause so am i
i know the morning is calling
for alibis
let them that be your covering
from time to time
leave but i know that you want it
cause so am i

leave but i know that you want it
cause so am i
i know the morning is calling
for alibis
let them that be your covering
from time to time
leave but i know that you want it
cause so am i
