V6

[Verse 1] Your coat is hanging by the door I know I shouldn't ask for more You say her name; I taste the ache Still lean in close for my own mistake [Pre-Chorus] Your hand pauses near my waist We both know the rules we break One look, and all my good sense slips I want the trouble of your lips [Chorus] I want what I can't call mine Your midnight, borrowed for a little time Say it's wrong, I know it's true But every locked door leads to you I want what I can't keep Your half-lit promise, your restless sleep You leave, I swear I'll let you go Then you turn back, and I say no [Verse 2] There's a glass ring on the table Your careful story, barely stable I watch you smooth your rumpled sleeve And hate how much I want to believe [Pre-Chorus] Don't make forever from tonight Don't say my name like it's all right One touch, and all my good sense slips I want the trouble of your lips [Chorus] I want what I can't call mine Your midnight, borrowed for a little time Say it's wrong, I know it's true But every locked door leads to you I want what I can't keep Your half-lit promise, your restless sleep You leave, I swear I'll let you go Then you turn back, and I say no [Bridge] No ring, no key, no waking beside you Just one more secret I won't confide to I could be wiser; I could be clean But wanting you is the sharpest thing [Final Chorus] I want what I can't call mine Your midnight, borrowed for a little time Say it's wrong, I know it's true Still every locked door leads to you I want what I can't keep Your half-lit promise, your restless sleep You leave, I swear I'll let you go Then you turn back, and I say no [Outro] I say no And still I want you
