Holdin' on to a memory of a moment
When the light drew circles around our feet
You said this feels like the last time
And so the taste of you is bitter sweet
Outside the wind howled like a mad man
Nobody wanted to be alone
And on the purple edge of darkness
I'll hold you forever
Cause tonight we're not going home
We’re not going home
Moving on to a dream of endless highways
A nightmare of pleasure and regret
Full of neon hearts and empty houses
Like you and you and you
And promises you would rather forget
There are words that I must remember
Though they still chill to the bone
With a cigarette hanging from your naked lips
I’ll hold you forever
Cause tonight we’re not going home
We’re not going home
The gift was given and the light was so bright!
