Waltzing Until Then: Nighthawks at the IHOP

Nighthawks at the IHOP

Honey, I can’t sleep
I’m having too much fun being with you
Say, you want to take a midnight run?
The moon is bright and we’re still… young
Singing sha-la-la la-la
And I don’t care if it’s cliché
Or if they call me gay

A couple nighthawks at the IHOP
Put on my Tom Waits slouch for you
I want to stretch like a cat and act crazy
Laugh at all we’ve been through

(Chorus)
Nothing’s wrong
I just want to drive and drive with you
Because we finally can, babe
Because we finally made it

Let’s go down to the James
Take off our shoes and sit out on the rocks
Stare at the lights up on the bridge
Just like back when we were… in college
Ah, but I weren’t singing a thing back then
So afraid of being cliché
Or tripping up in some game

But you always pulled me out of my shell
And in the end I loved you for it
Made me stretch like a cat and act crazy
Realize that I want to live

(Repeat chorus x2)

Honey, I can’t sleep
I’m having too much fun being with you
