Times Square

A new life in a new town

I always hoped you’d come around

Monday night in a downtown pool hall

Rock and roll and alcohol

I was just a kid playing on stage

You were with your friends, barely drinking age

There’s something in the air after midnight

It makes a spark, and that’s when matches ignite

That’s when you found me, sitting on a sidewalk

I wasn’t lonely, but I was up for making small talk

The years go by like headlights at nighttime

Now I’ve loved you half of your lifetime

Places we’ve been, the things we’ve done

They don’t belong to anyone

I wouldn’t trade a minute for a fortune

Your pull is like a current in the ocean

There’s something in your eyes that I can’t fight

Ask me to stay, you know I just might

If you’ll let me, I’d like to turn off the alarm clock

You know you wreck me, I’ve got a little bit of shell shock

The way you look at me, I try but can’t pretend

You bring me to my knees, I’d do it all again

If we’re a story in a book then I’ll hold the pen

I think we’ll wait a while until we write the end

Bang bang on the door, I’ll ignore the sound

‘Cause when you’re here with me it’s all just background

This is love, this is war and it’s all fair

Electric when we touch like we’re in Times Square

You  make the melody, I’m in the pocket

The rhythm’s always solid as a rock yea

You’re on repeat and I can’t help but sing along

You’re stuck in my head just like my favorite song

And it’s a tune that we can make go on and on

Preoccupy me, like sleeping right through and alarm clock
