Last Night 03:11
Tonight I want to do it again oh yeah The memory's still fresh in my head The taste lingers on the tip of my tongue nah nah And I admit that it was so much fun To be inside of you Last night was so incredible Everything we did was uncontrollable Tonight I'm thinking of you Twenty-four hours later I still smell you On me So this is how it feels to be like a king Finding glitter on everything The Midas touch of your face Fuck yeah I feel great Last night was so incredible Everything we did was uncontrollable Tonight I'm thinking of you Twenty-four hours later I still smell you On me

What have I done lately? What do I do now? Something stands before me Keeps me from moving on Keeps me from moving on And as the sun chimes over my head I think about how I've lived instead And how everything comes and goes Its not easy being alone Its not easy being alone Its not easy being alone But as long as you love yourself You're gonna be alright I tell myself she left me So I don't feel so bad And though she cries nightly It could be worse than that What could be worse than that? And as the sun chimes over my head I think about how I've lived instead And how everything comes and goes Its not easy being alone Its not easy being alone Its not easy being alone But as long as you love yourself You're gonna be alright Keep your chin up You're gonna be alright Keep your chin up I tell myself every night Keep your chin up You're gonna be just fine Keep your chin up I tell myself every night Its not easy being alone Its not easy being alone Its not easy being alone But as long as you love yourself You're gonna be alright Keep your chin up You're gonna be alright Keep your chin up I tell myself every night Keep your chin up You're gonna be just fine Keep your chin up I tell myself every night
