Can We Take the Night Off?

I've got so many things to do Always busy too often Guess we got that in common, 'cause You give up so much of yourself So I can't ask how you've been, how you felt When you come home with nothing left We fall asleep before saying goodnight We disagree but we're too tired to fight Is that how it goes? Is this how we die? Or can we take the night off? I like you better with the lights on Give me a minute to get in your head I'm catching up just to lose you again Can we slow down? Stuck in time, it's like we're space bound Keep losing track, how long has it been? I'm catching up just to lose you again Always ask if you love me still You say 'Yes, would you stop it Now we're grown so it won't be the same As it was when we started' We fall asleep before saying goodnight We disagree but we're too tired to fight Is that how it goes? Is this how we die? Or can we take the night off? I like you better with the lights on Give me a minute to get in your head I'm catching up just to lose you again Can we slow down? Stuck in time, it's like we're space bound Keep losing track, how long has it been? I'm catching up just to lose you again All I want, all I want is more of your time So can we take off, baby take off the night Let me show ya how we can slow it Slow it down down down down down Or can we take the night off? I like you better with the lights on Give me a minute to get in your head I'm catching up just to lose you again Can we slow down? Stuck in time, it's like we're space bound Keep losing track, how long has it been? I'm catching up just to lose you again All I want's more of your time I don't want to waste this life Can you take off just one night?
