Lyrics: Cauterize. Shine.

Just for that moment time stood still
Nothing mattered but the thrill of things to come
And never knowin' where you're goin'
A little nervous and out of practice

Sweaty palms and an awkward silence
You pulled me closer for a kiss
And I'm so scared to feel like this
Can't stop my hands from shakin'

I won't blink 'cause I might miss and I've waited way too long for this
The perfect words at the perfect time
The perfect song with the perfect rhyme
Compose the soundtrack to our night, are you listening?

Tonight the world will wait for us to say it's okay to move again
The stars will have to find another sky to shed some light
'Cause this is our time to shine
Is there some place we could go to be alone?

One last thing before you go, a little song to let you know
That I never wanted to be anything but everything to you my dear
But I spoke too soft for you to hear me say
"I wish that I could stay"

And though it's our last night
Let's make it a lifetime before the sun comes up again
I know this is goodbye
I promise I won't cry if you promise you won't forget
