It happens every night

You fall asleep in the soft lamplight

All you gotta do is close your eyes

I’m not the jealous kind

I know it’ll happen when the moment’s right

Let go every matter on my mind

I could sleep tonight


My heart beats quicker than a heart beat should


One day you’re gonna feel the same thing too

Life is tricky even when it’s good

But don’t worry now

I’ll never let you down

There’s a lot that you don’t know about

There’s a lot of shit you’re gonna find out

But you just sleep for now

I’ll tell you when the time is right

My heart beats quicker than a heart beat should


One day you’re gonna feel the same thing too


Life is tricky even when it’s good

But don’t worry now

I’ll never let you down

I’ll never let you down


I’ll never let you down

My heart beats quicker than a heart beat should

One day you’re gonna feel the same thing too

Life is tricky even when it’s good

But don’t worry now

I’ll never let you down

My heart keeps beating like a heart beat should

One day you are gonna feel that too

Life is tricky even when it’s good

But don’t worry now

I’ll never let you down

I’ll never let you down

I’ll never let you down

I’ll never let you down

Verse 1

I am sitting staring

Pulled up in the drive

Inside the car’s quiet

A tear rolls from my eye

I want to be around you

I miss you when I’m not

I want to be without you

I feel guilty at the thought

Chorus

And the hardest part is leaving

When you’re clinging to my arms

I know I’m needing

Time now for my heart

And that’s the hardest part

Verse 2

There’s sickness in the longing

For a simple life

When your heart has ideas stirring

And dreams taking to flight

I question my decisions

That take me away from you

Am I giving up my meaning

Or am I being true

Chorus

And the hardest part is leaving

When you’re clinging to my arms

I know I’m needing

Time now for my heart

And that’s the hardest part

Verse 3 / Bridge

There’s a storm inside that’s raging

When I cannot find the light

And I’ve nothing to hold onto

I’m reaching around blind

But I grab onto your love

I’m holding on so tight

I am grasping for your touch

And I’m reaching for your light

Chorus

And the hardest part is leaving

When you’re clinging to my arms

I know I’m needing

Time now for my heart

And that’s the hardest part

And that’s the hardest part

And that’s the hardest part

Verse 1

I’ve been a shitty friend

One day starts

And the next one ends

Rolling around in my mind

All the time

It’s not where I should be

I’m not gonna lie

You haven’t been on my mind

But you’re part of my body

In my cells

Deep down inside

Chorus

And in my dreams

We’re all seventeen

And in my heart

That’s where I want to be

Verse 2

We opened a window

In your parents house

Smoking a cigarette

Think we wouldn’t be caught out

Hanging in parks

Chasing friends in the dark

I’m always running

I don’t know what from

And in my dreams

We’re all seventeen

And in my heart

That’s where I want to be

And in my dreams

You’re here with me

Here in my heart

That’s where I want you to be

Bridge

I don’t know if we’ll ever get back

But it’s always something I’ll lack

Chorus

And in my dreams

We’re all seventeen

And in my heart

That’s where I long to be

And in my dreams

You’re here with me

Here by my side

That’s where I want you to be

Verse 1

We started with Janet Jackson

Martika, Madonna and Prince

Moved onto The Fugees

Peter Gabriel and Stevie Nicks

Girly Man, what a cool name for a band

I wish I thought of that, I wish I thought of that

And I wonder how the pop-gods felt

When they listened back, when they listened back

Chorus

You were driving

Driving through the night

And we were driving

Driving through the night

Verse 2

I remember when I was sixteen

And we didn’t hold the world in our hands

Listen to radio, press “play-record”

Or carry it round in a disc man

Now we got jukeboxes at our fingertips

And we’ve lost a bit of the romance

And we got tiny TVs and whatever we need

To keep us in a trance

Chorus

You were driving

Driving through the night

And we were driving

Driving through the night

Bridge

But all the kids I know

Just get it

And they give me hope

For where we’re headed

Chorus

You were driving

Driving through the night

And we were driving

Driving through the night
