All for the Night

I fell all over myself
worried about compromise
since you are special
we're all wrong sometimes

the dark of night hides my imperfections
you have to be home when the sun sets
long before my heart begins to shine
when exactly were you going to see me?

the morning sun ages us
i'd rather sleep the whole day
than wake up for you
waiting and wasting away

I heard you say you were doing this for me
saving up your time for tomorrow
the sunlight sucked all of your life away
on the thirteenth night I am still alone

the kids up the street
have a good little band
As you put me down
they brought me to life

leave me a voice mail
I can't hear the phone
my heart is pounding
with the baseline

When you're up late with the hounds
don't howl when you see the moon
She won't tell you any of my secrets
while I am trying to forget about you

the parking lot is hot
with summer heat
those dulled senses
are now over fire

If music doesn't move you
then i've got no time for you
don't change yourself
because we don't work
If music doesn't move you
then i've got no time for you

while i've still got youth
I want to live for tonight
before I have to decide
I want to move my body
with my own kind so we can
make the world all aquiver
with anticipation
since I never saw you shake
I will, shining in starlight

If music doesn't move you
then i've got no time for you
don't change yourself
because we don't work
If music doesn't move you
then i've got no time for you

Am I moving too fast
Are you moving too slow
Burn me Rand
'Cause I'm on ice

were we ever going to fly away
The years are adding up
love says I can't
request required payment

Can't you dance
fling out the darkness
the things holding you down
but people can't change

So i've gone out
with someone
who wants to get down
life's too short
to live as a robot
So i'm gonna go

If music doesn't move you
then i've got no time for you
don't change yourself
because we don't work
If music doesn't move you
then i've got no time for you
don't change yourself
because we don't work
