You, the one, how your eyes burn like coal
In the corner you were watching, never letting go
And I was the one trying not to attract attention like that
But your gaze just won't leave me alone
Leave me alone, I can't deny that it just won't
And that I don't, don't really object
I'm tired of this set, tired of knowing what people expect
But you, fire behind your eyes
Hold out the fount of youth before me like a prize

And I just wanna be young for the night
Down for the ride, just for tonight
Be young with me and forget your plans
Who's that? Your friend?
Let's just pretend

OOh ah, ah, ooh ah, ah

Now I, the one, sitting all on my own
Waiting for an opportunity to go
But you draw me in with your beautiful words
You ease on my hurts and your heartbeat won't leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone
I can't deny that it just won't
And that I don't, don't really object
I'm tired of this set
Tired of knowing what you all expect
But you, fire behind your eyes
Hold out the fount of youth before me like a prize

And I just wanna be young for the night
Down for the ride, just for tonight
Be young with me and forget your plans
Who's that? Your friend?
Let's just pretend

OOh ah, ah, ooh ah, ah

It feels like it's happening anew
You just forget what it feels like to have somebody else want you
It feels like falling fast in love again
And I'd rather sink than swim
It may be crazy, but it feels so right

And I just wanna be young for the night
I just wanna be young for the night
I just wanna be young, I just wanna be young
I just wanna be young, I just wanna be young
I just wanna be (just wanna be)
