Steal the Night

Six, twelve, six-teen and all that I want is there in your eyes
An angel in flashing lights. Hold my hand. We’ll steal the night.
We were sixteen. You opened my heart with your smile
A world I’d been taught to deny. Kiss me, love, as we die.
You’d always say the we only have each other, but life isn’t so black and white.
I’m not your victim, no, I’m not your martyr.
I’m just what you think is not right.
I thought we could use a night out dancing out loud.
Alone, we’re the kings of the crowd. Hold me close. We’ll steal the night.
You said we would get all those years. Triumphs and tears.
Dreams we’d make into our lives. Hold on, love. Don’t say good-bye.
I’m writing my panicked goodbyes
A departure so sudden and soon.
Too soon.
Six, twelve, six-teen and all that I want is there in your eyes
An angel in flashing lights. Hold my hand. We’ll steal the night.
