Tonight Lyrics
[Verse 1: Thomas Mars]
Oh, could you-could you come tonight
Instead of goin' under?
Oh, could you-could you come tonight?
Would you think it’d be her last December?
Oh, could it been the way she combs her hair?
It must've been the day you lost a care
What if I was the answer to your prayer?
Yeah, you need a little candor, need a little candor
[Pre-Chorus: Thomas Mars]
What if we last 'til it’s dawn like you promised me?
Who let the boys spill their entrée?
Dinner is served, can't you see we're not opposites?
Are you still up thinkin' of me?
[Chorus: Thomas Mars]
I take all the blame, is it hard to understand?
When it's all the same
I played all the games and lost almost everything
Now, I talk to myself and it's quite surprising
[Post-Chorus: Thomas Mars]
Roll with me
Let's roll
Oh, could you-could you come tonight
Instead of goin' under?
Oh, could you-could you come tonight?
Would you think it’d be her last December?
Oh, could it been the way she combs her hair?
It must've been the day you lost a care
What if I was the answer to your prayer?
Yeah, you need a little candor, need a little candor
[Pre-Chorus: Thomas Mars]
What if we last 'til it’s dawn like you promised me?
Who let the boys spill their entrée?
Dinner is served, can't you see we're not opposites?
Are you still up thinkin' of me?
[Chorus: Thomas Mars]
I take all the blame, is it hard to understand?
When it's all the same
I played all the games and lost almost everything
Now, I talk to myself and it's quite surprising
[Post-Chorus: Thomas Mars]
Roll with me
Let's roll
[Verse 2: Ezra Koenig & Thomas Mars]
Oh, could you-could you come tonight?
I'm countin’ from the thunder
Oh, could you-could you come tonight?
I got a feelin’ that you know the number
Could I be the best to jump ahead?
Your feet are hurting less with moccasins
I never heard another comment since
You need a little splendor, need a little splendor
[Pre-Chorus: Thomas Mars, Ezra Koenig, Thomas Mars & Ezra Koenig]
Oh, what if we last 'til it’s dawn like you promised me?
Who let the boys spill their entrée?
Dinner is served, can't you see we're not opposites?
Are you still up thinkin' of me?
[Chorus: Ezra Koenig, Thomas Mars & Ezra Koenig]
I take all the blame, is it hard to understand?
When it’s all the same
I played all the games and lost almost everything
Now, I talk to myself and it's quite surprising
[Post-Chorus: Thomas Mars & Ezra Koenig]
Roll with me
Let's roll, with me
Oh, could you-could you come tonight?
I'm countin’ from the thunder
Oh, could you-could you come tonight?
I got a feelin’ that you know the number
Could I be the best to jump ahead?
Your feet are hurting less with moccasins
I never heard another comment since
You need a little splendor, need a little splendor
[Pre-Chorus: Thomas Mars, Ezra Koenig, Thomas Mars & Ezra Koenig]
Oh, what if we last 'til it’s dawn like you promised me?
Who let the boys spill their entrée?
Dinner is served, can't you see we're not opposites?
Are you still up thinkin' of me?
[Chorus: Ezra Koenig, Thomas Mars & Ezra Koenig]
I take all the blame, is it hard to understand?
When it’s all the same
I played all the games and lost almost everything
Now, I talk to myself and it's quite surprising
[Post-Chorus: Thomas Mars & Ezra Koenig]
Roll with me
Let's roll, with me
[Bridge: Thomas Mars, Ezra Koenig, Thomas Mars & Ezra Koenig]
Talk to myself and it's quite surprising
In the middle of the night (Night, night, night)
Roll
Now I talk to myself and it's quite surprising
In the middle of a fight (Fight, fight, fight)
Roll
Can't you see the sign up on the wall?
In the middle of the night (Night, night, night)
Roll
Can't you see the sign up on the wall?
In the middle of a fight (Fight)
Talk to myself and it's quite surprising
Roll with me
Let's roll, with me
[Outro: Thomas Mars, Thomas Mars & Ezra Koenig]
I wish I could be someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you
Oh, how I wish I could be someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you
Oh, how I wish I could be someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you
Oh, how I wish I could be someone like you
Talk to myself and it's quite surprising
In the middle of the night (Night, night, night)
Roll
Now I talk to myself and it's quite surprising
In the middle of a fight (Fight, fight, fight)
Roll
Can't you see the sign up on the wall?
In the middle of the night (Night, night, night)
Roll
Can't you see the sign up on the wall?
In the middle of a fight (Fight)
Talk to myself and it's quite surprising
Roll with me
Let's roll, with me
[Outro: Thomas Mars, Thomas Mars & Ezra Koenig]
I wish I could be someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you
Oh, how I wish I could be someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you
Oh, how I wish I could be someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you
Oh, how I wish I could be someone like you
