Foolish Kids

We pull up to your house it's late at night
Your dad he left on the porch light
We sit parked in the pale moonlight
Where we sat so many times before
I say you should go in you're late
You say he's already mad he can wait
I just wanna control my own fate
For just a few minutes more

And so we sit there without a care
I look at you I can't help but stare
I run my fingers through your hair
And tell you I wanna stay here forever with you

The night is quiet the world's in bed
You break the silence as you lift your head
You say you know one day this will end
But for tonight let's just pretend
We'll dream of all that our lives could be
Of our wedding day and starting our family
And sure it won't always be easy
But it will be you and me till the end

We lose ourselves in our fantasies
Before we knew it was quarter to three
Your dad is calling now he's worried
I wish I could stay right here forever with you

I watch you walk up those steps alone
I sit not quite ready to go home
I turn the key and the engine moans
Tonight has finally reached its end
On the highway my headlights lead
Me back home to reality
And oh god ain't it sobering
Realizing what will never be

Just a couple of foolish kids
Making empty promises
But even if nothing comes from them
I wish I could stay right here forever with you
Yeah I wish I could stay forever dreaming with you
