[Verse 1]
Like a spotlight the water hits me
Ran it extra cold to shake the words from my mouth
Though I know that no one’s listening
I nervously rehearse for when you’re around

And I keep waiting like you might change my mind
Give me on more night

[Chorus]
Who wrote the book on goodbye?
There's never been a way to make this easy
When there’s nothing quite wrong but it don't feel right
Either your head or your heart, you set the other on fire

[Chorus]
Who wrote the book on goodbye?
There's never been a way to make this easy
When there’s nothing quite wrong but it don't feel right
Either your head or your heart, you set the other on fire

[Verse 2]
Back and forth now I'm feelin' guilty
Cause I just can’t stop this pendulum in my head
Though I know that our time is ending
I’d rather lay forever right in this bed

And I keep waiting like, you might change my mind
Give me one more night
Give me one more night

And I keep waiting like, you might change my mind
Give me one more night
Give me one more night

[Pre-Chorus]
No one knows (knows)
No one knows (knows)
No one knows (knows)
No one knows (knows)
Either your head or your heart, you set the other on fire

[Chorus]
Who wrote the book on goodbye?
There's never been a way to make this easy
When there’s nothing quite wrong but it don't feel right
Either your head or your heart, you set the other on fire

[Chorus]
Who wrote the book on goodbye?
There's never been a way to make this easy
When there’s nothing quite wrong but it don't feel right
Either your head or your heart, you set the other on fire

Knows (knows)
Knows (knows)
Either your head or your heart, you set the other on fire
Give me one more night
Give me one more night

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
