I want to spend the night with you forever
Every time we wind up spending the night together
Do you ever feel it
I want to share my life with you forever
Every time we wind up sharing a night together
Do you ever feel it

When I stay away from you I never get to sleep
I try to hug my pillow and pretend that you’re with me
But I can’t feel a thing
When we are together it’s right there for me to see
I can’t keep looking at loneliness and try to call it freedom
Do you ever feel it

I want to spend the night with you, girl, forever
Every time we wind up spending the night together
Do you ever feel it
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
Do you ever want to spend the night
