You've got a house that's clean and fine
That's all I'm needing
I got a touch that makes things nice
That's all I'm saying
You've got a globe that's made of ice
That's slowly melting the traces of this winter on your floor
You had a tough year just like mine
I'm glad we're leaving it
We were thrown around, that will suffice
The summarizing
Now I want you wholly in my life
But, let's agree it's only for tonight
A field would be the place to hold you tight
Let's dream about it
A fire would keep this loving burning bright
Let's scheme about it
But, the city's so cold and traveling's a total fright
So, let's agree it's only for tonight
Left yours with scratches and a bite
Of your ink-stained beauty
You were cool with our friends the other night
Like you never knew me
But, this time around I will not fight
Just laying low in the passion of the things that we did right
Don't want a thing less than divine
So, let's agree it was only for that night
