[Verse 1]
I got a warning today
We gotta figure it out
'Cause when you make a mistake
You gotta figure it out
Left me with some kind of taste
I saw you once on the sidewalk
There on Mercer and Spring
We started out in the same place

[Verse 2]
I wanna mould in your shape, yeah
You gave me reason to ignite
I know the weather could change
Stuck in a permanent high tide
Hold back the lies 'cause I'm needing the truth
I wait for the sun like I'm ready to bloom
I'd be there for life if you wanted me to
If you've got something to say
I need you to say it, say it now

[Chorus]
I wanna stay awake tonight
I wanna go against the tide
I wanna stay with you tonight
I wanna stay with you tonight
I wanna stay awake tonight
I wanna go against the tide
I wanna stay with you tonight
I wanna stay with you tonight

[Post-Chorus]
Say it now

[Bridge]
Something in my heart is telling me the things
I want is what I've been waiting for
Something in my heart is telling me the truth
If you've got something to say
I need you to say it (Say it now)
Something in my heart is telling me the things
I want is what I've been waiting for
Something in my heart is telling me the truth
If you've got something to say
I need you to say it (Say it now)

[Chorus]
I wanna stay awake tonight
I wanna go against the tide
I wanna stay with you tonight
I wanna stay with you tonight
I wanna stay awake tonight
I wanna go against the tide
I wanna stay with you tonight
I wanna stay with you tonight
