Sometimes I get so tired of carrying this shield.
Lonely as hell up on my pedestal, I need
Someone to come along and knock me off my feet.
I almost fell when I saw you walk down my street.
I see you smiling that mysterious smile.
I hate to think that I am cramping your style.
Sometimes I think, I wonder what you're all about
I think there's only one way to know, one way to find out.

So come on, and let me take you beyond these city lights.
I want to make you stare up at the stars all night.
The constellations spin around the sky.
Get you in the mood
To go dark to light, light to dark, dark to light
Come spend the weekend with me
We may not have a plan, we just have a good idea
Go dark to light, light to dark, dark to light
Forgive the imposition, forget your inhibition,
And get in the mood with me.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm wasting my time
Drinking your Kool-Aid while you're tasting my wine,
Like you can fool me into thinking it's real.
It's fake, but I feel myself wear out my brakes.
I'm spinning my wheels trying to get in a groove,
While you shoot off your arrows--every target that moves!
So you've got to forgive me If I'm being too forward,
But I ordered an entrée, and I got an hors d'œuvre.

So come on, and let me take you beyond these city lights.
I want to make you stare up at the stars all night.
The constellations spin around the sky.
Get you in the mood
To go dark to light, light to dark, dark to light
Come spend the weekend with me
We may not have a plan, we just have a good idea
Go dark to light, light to dark, dark to light
Forgive the imposition, forget your inhibition,
And get in the mood with me.

If I remember one thing about this day
Oh let it be your breath on my skin
To replay over and over again
If I hold on to one thing after tonight
Oh let it be the look on your face
Never to be erased.
Go dark to light, light to dark, dark to light, light to dark,
Dark to light, light to dark, dark to light,
Light to dark, dark to light, light to dark,
Play with me
Dark to light, light to dark, dark to light,
Light to dark, dark to light, light to dark,
Dark to light, light to dark, dark to light, to dark
Ten days with me.

I want to take you beyond these city lights
I want to make you stare up at the stars all night
The constellations spin around the sky
Get you in the mood
To go dark to light, light to dark, dark to light
Come spend the weekend with me
We may not have a plan, we just have a good idea
Go dark to light, light to dark, dark to light
Forgive the imposition, forget the inhibition,
And get in the mood with me.

Forget your inhibition, forgive the imposition,
And get in the mood with me.
Get in the mood with me.
