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?
