Burn This Night Down

Lyrics

[Intro] Friday pours through the apartment door Cheap red wine on the kitchen floor Turn the record up, let the neighbors complain Everybody came looking for trouble again [Verse 1] You got a gold dress hanging from one shoulder I got a warm beer and a week getting older Danny’s in the hallway rolling something sweet Mara’s laughing barefoot, sliding to the beat The room smells like cologne and summer heat A stranger writes her number on my sleeve No promises past the morning train Just another wild night running through my veins [Pre-Chorus] Pour it out, pass it round Lose your name when the band gets loud [Chorus] We’re gonna burn this night down to the wire Raise another glass, set the room on fire One more kiss, then another one begins Too many women, too much trouble, let the party win We’re gonna burn this night down to the wire Sweat on the walls and a heart full of desire If tomorrow asks where we have been Tell it we were busy letting the bad times in [Verse 2] Your roommate’s dancing on the washing machine The bassline knocks loose every sensible thing A blue-eyed girl says, “You look like rain” Then pulls me close and forgets my name There’s a bottle in the freezer, smoke above the sink A red mark on my collar and no time to think She says, “Stay until the record ends” But the needle drops and the night starts again [Pre-Chorus] Pour it out, pass it round Lose your name when the band gets loud [Chorus] We’re gonna burn this night down to the wire Raise another glass, set the room on fire One more kiss, then another one begins Too many women, too much trouble, let the party win We’re gonna burn this night down to the wire Sweat on the walls and a heart full of desire If tomorrow asks where we have been Tell it we were busy letting the bad times in [Bridge] Morning finds a heel beside the bed A lipstick message written in red Coffee, cold ash, sunlight through the blind A dozen little memories fighting for my mind I don’t know her story, she doesn’t know mine We traded four hours and a bottle of wine Maybe that’s enough, maybe that’s the sin The door swings wide and the next night walks in [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] We’re gonna burn this night down to the wire Raise another glass, set the room on fire One more kiss, then another one begins Too many women, too much trouble, let the party win We’re gonna burn this night down to the wire Sweat on the walls and a heart full of desire If tomorrow asks where we have been Tell it we were busy letting the bad times in [Outro] Friday pours through the apartment door Cheap red wine on the kitchen floor Turn the record up, let the neighbors complain Everybody came looking for trouble again
