Lyrics

Leave the Day Free

Go and close the curtains

It's getting too bright

We need some music

Let's stay up all night

Put the lights back on

I can't see your face

Can you feel it?

It's going some pace

No inhibitions

We could still have some more

Pass me my jeans

From your side of the floor

No plans for tomorrow

Leave the day free

Just waste it in bed

Waste it with me
