Before It Gets Dark

I've been listening to my heart beating Counting the seconds before you're leaving It's 7 p.m. and the summer's young So many words at the tip of my tongue I've been listening to your heart beating Counting your freckles while you're sleeping It's 7 p.m. and the sky's turning red Please don't go, stay with me instead So chase a sunset with me I'll chase a sunset with you I'll look at you like all my world is painted blue Like your eyes Feel my temperature rise And all I want is for you to want me back Before it gets dark I've been listening to your steps leaving Counting the weeks before we're meeting It's 8 p.m., now the summer's old And I'm counting the lies that you told The sky is dark, my heart is bleeding August is gone, the train is leaving It's 8 p.m. and my eyes are red You didn't stay, you chose to go instead So chase a sunset with me I'll chase a sunset with you I'll look at you like all my world is painted blue Like your eyes Feel my temperature rise And all I want is for you to want me back Before it gets dark Hurry up, September's here And your face is nowhere near It's 9 p.m., now the summer's old I counted the lies that you told You chased a sunset with me I chased a sunset with you I looked at you like all my world was painted blue Like your eyes Felt my temperature rise And all I wanted was for you to want me back But then it got dark But then it got dark
