Lyrics

Burns so bright in the dead of night
Bonfire light like a neon sign
Old pickup trucks parked in a line
Empty a can toss it in the pile
Eighteen years was not enough
To tell the difference in love and lust
Hold me close so I can feel that fire
Swayed our hips till the morning light

Can you hold me closer
My heart beating wild
Hold me closer
The best things always take some time

Walking hand in hand down to the creek
We'll let the water wash our thinking clean
Til the sun fell down in jealousy
Cause he couldn’t stay to see you and me

Can you hold me closer
My heart beating wild
Hold me closer
The best things always take some time

The summer left without a peep
Changes came down with those leaves
Everything you own tied to a jeep
Rearview mirror is a lonely thing

Can you hold me closer
I know we’ll survive
Hold me closer
The best things always take some time

Let the moonlight shine its light on me
Let the stars guide you to what you seek
If you feel the same give me a sign
The best things always take some time
The best things always take some time
