Tonight, our friends hit the city

Can we stay in this evening

I'm good as long as you're with me

We can light the fire

Drink some wine, play the oldies

Dance passed two

And stare at you as you hold me

Paint this room red

As passionate as my love for you

Yeah, you turn me red

Even when I'm feeling blue

Maybe we're missing out what's in town

But baby I've been missing you

Let's stay home instead

And paint this room red

Clear the space, let's make some room

Play our parts and our favorite tunes

It's the weekend, let's stay up past 2 

Just me slow dancing with you

It's been a couple of weeks now

Do you still see the glow?

Am I still what you seek now

Did we keep the fire?

Take more time to know me

If life's a slow dance

Would you like to hold me?

Tonight, our friends hit the city

Can we stay in this evening

I'm good as long as you're with me

We can light the fire

Drink some wine, play the oldies

Dance passed two

And stare at you as you hold me

Paint this room red

As passionate as my love for you

Yeah, you turn me red

Even when I'm feeling blue

Maybe we're missing out what's in town

But baby I've been missing you

Let's stay home instead

And paint this room red
