should I go out tonight?
dancing, beats, smoke and moving lights
you could get me inside 
we could drink till the sunrise
and kiss me once more tonight
softly, slowly, instead this time
before you have to fly
through the summer-stormed southern sky

now I've lost my key
and so too it seems, my gravity
and all of my thoughts and ability 
to hear anything but the songs you sing
when you speak just like a tune

should I travel tonight?
chase the moon through the endless sky
cross the world, change my life
we could meet on the other side
and dance with me one more time
let's pretend that we'll both survive
and everything's alright
when our bodies and minds collide

now I've fallen to my knees
and so too it seems, my sobriety
and all my reason and capacity
to hear anything but the songs you sing
when you speak just like a tune

and the lightning keeps brightening the glassy sky
and the heat keeps ascending each day and night
but this summer of thunder will pass us by

should I wander tonight?
thought the revelers and traffic lights
go watch the incoming tide
I could wish you were at my side
with that look in your eye
subtle, bold, sultry, sparkling, shy
nowhere for us to hide 
under summer-stormed southern skies

now I've been swept out to sea
and so too it seems, my stability
and all remaining possibility 
to hear anything but the songs you sing
as you speak just like a tune

and the lightning keeps brightening the glassy sky
and the heat keeps ascending each day and night
but this summer of thunder will pass us by
