I sleep better on my own
But I still wanna take you home
You sleep better when we're two
I'd like to give up my sleep for you
This seemed like perfect reasoning to me
When I was sixteen
drinking your father's chablis

You smiled and said to me
I'm glad we're friends
but we're too drunk to even make sense
Please stay to see what happens
while we stay up tonight
I laughed and assured you
No, I won't go home
let's dance 'til the morning comes along
I don't care as long as we stay up
stay up tonight

Cause we were drinking just to feel it
And we always sang like we believed it
Colours were brighter
after curfew
Now I'm allowed to stay up at night
We were drinking just to feel it
And we always sang like we believed it
Shadows were darker
after curfew
Now I'm allowed to stay up at night

Tell me what I'm gonna say
You can see my eyes are crossed
from a mile away
My parents they will know
They could probably tell
from my shaky shadow
This seemed like a storm headed towards me
When I was sixteen
drinkin' your father's chablis

You smiled and said to me
I'm glad we're friends
but we're too drunk to even make sense
Please stay to see what happens
while we - stay up tonight
I laughed and assured you
No, I won't go home
let's dance 'til the morning comes along
I don't care as long as we stay up
stay up tonight

Cause we were drinking just to feel it
And we always sang like we believed it
Colours were brighter
after curfew
Now I'm allowed to stay up at night
We were drinking just to feel it
And we always sang like we believed it
Shadows were darker
after curfew
Now I'm allowed to stay up at night
