One More Night

I've spent too much of my life defending my past

Can't find power in truth when it never lasts

Never said I was a hero, just I've been miscast

Throughout all of the stress of being accused

My defenses replaced the love that we knew

I never got the chance just to miss you

I'd go through it again, I would embrace the pain

If it gave me the chance for just one glance

Of you in my arms to hold in my dreams

It's too hard to ever let you go

I may be alone now but I'll always know

You'll never be gone just as long as I keep

What memories we made when we were in love

I'd give into the lie to keep your memory alive

I know tryin' to forget you's my only crime

I never want to be right; I just want to say goodbye

So take my sight, the wind in my hair

Take my touch; I know she's still there

In songs of birds just as long as they're words

I remember her taste, the sun on my face

So strip me away, I don't want to be real

I want to float through this peace that I feel

The memories stay like a seed in the rain

I'll nurture our love and live through it again

She's alive in my head so I'll live there instead

And remember our love

(Do all words can do, David I still love you

I want you to grow but never let me go

I'll be a seed in your heart

I'll be with you when you start

To turn and hum again

I'll be a part of your love

Your life will sprout like a tree

And all the leaves will be me

And all the fruit will glow just to let you know

That I loved you the best, now I can rest)

I felt your hair on my chest as your heart came to rest

Its tempo tied to the spin of the world I lived in

Maybe I won't say goodbye, pretend you never died

But I couldn't live in a world I didn't forgive

You know if I could, I'd carve myself out of wood

Paint over my scars and wish upon a star

I watched that sun as it drowned and rise again from the ground

In its perennial grace I see your shining face

Now that you've gone away, I can finally say

That if you were here today I'd love you the same way

It all happened before and it'll happen again

When you realize the end is the same place you began

I rest my case on my heart, I'm sick of playing the part

I don't want to be right, just one more night

I don't want to be right, just one more night

I don't want to be right, just one more night

I don't want to be right, just one more night

I don't want to be right, just one more night

I don't want to be right, just one more night
