Verse 1:
Thought that I was just kissing you,
To pass the time while I was passing through  
Your town – we knew the rules  
Clock strikes twelve, should’ve gone to our own rooms
Chorus:
(And) I’m Feeling so foolish that I would
But I didn’t plan on it being this good 
Loving you, loving you
Feeling so foolish that I would
But I didn’t realise that it could feel so good
Now I’m shifting dreams  - No plan in mind  
‘Cos I forgot the rules
Verse 2: 
Thought that I was just kissing you  
Behind closed doors like we wanted to  
Have no strings attached – no trace of each other  
When I slipped away, and now I wonder… (Why)
Verse 3:
Thought that I was just kissing you  
But now and then I still catch you  
Across a room, or on a screen   
And the way you look, it's clear to me…
Final Chorus:
That you’re feeling so foolish that you would  
And you didn’t plan on it being this good 
Loving me, loving you
Feeling so foolish that we would  
But we didn’t realise that it could feel so good  
Now we’re shifting dreams  - No plan in mind  
‘Cos we forgot the rules


I Forgot The Rules

Verse 1:
You fold your shirts like you’re afraid to break them
Your voice gets caught beneath the hallway light
And I, I, I, I don’t wanna fall asleep with doubt on my mind
So won’t you stay tonight?

Verse 2:
You check your watch like time might not obey you
The windows cloud up, masking your next goodbye 
And I, I, I, I don’t wanna fall asleep with doubt on my mind
So won’t you stay tonight?

Bridge:
You zip the bag that’s always half-unpacked beside the stairs
Too full to take the books you say you’ll read next time you're here
But I don’t wanna wait
And you can’t stay
But this might be the part you don’t forget someday
Stay tonight

Verse 3:
You hang your coat like you might stay forever
The things we fake to make it feel just right
And I, I, I, I don’t wanna fall asleep with doubt on my mind
So won’t you stay tonight
And I, I, I, I just wanna lay beside you, for a while
Stay tonight


Stay Tonight

(Intro)
Verse 1
The floor sticks under your boots
As the bouncer nods you through
And I nod to you
This mic stinks of last regrets
A thousand mouths that never left
We start. Again.

Verse 2
They’re selling relics at the merch desk
Next to the shirts that say “still a mess”
Like all the rest
But you’re buying what they can’t sell
Pills that promise you’ll get well
But who can tell?

Chorus:
If you wanna cry, I could hold your hand
If you feel like screaming, I’ll pretend to understand
‘Cos I’m ready to feel something
Ready to feel something 

Verse 3:
I mumble words I used to like
Band pretends to still feel the vibe
Same song, new night
They’re framing me on their phone
Room gives less the more we show
Cue the next low

Bridge:
You watch like you’re waiting for me to slip
I play each note like I’m losing my grip
We're all performing being fine
But the act gets harder every time
The lights dip low
The crowd won’t know
That we’ve let it go
Cause this is the show
