I really hate to let this moment go
Touching your skin and your hair falling slow
When a goodbye kiss, feels like this
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
Don't you wanna hold each other tight?
Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight?
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
We can make forever feel this way
Don't you wanna stay
Let's take it slow, I don't wanna move too fast
I don't wanna just make love, I wanna make love last
When your up this high, it's a sad goodbye
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
Don't you wanna hold each other tight?
Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight?
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
We can make forever feel this way
Don't you wanna stay?
Oh yeah
Oh, you feel so perfect, baby
Yeah, you feel so perfect, baby
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
Don't you wanna hold each other tight?
Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight?
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
We can make forever feel this way
Don't you wanna stay, yeah?
Don't you wanna stay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Touching your skin and your hair falling slow
When a goodbye kiss, feels like this
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
Don't you wanna hold each other tight?
Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight?
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
We can make forever feel this way
Don't you wanna stay
Let's take it slow, I don't wanna move too fast
I don't wanna just make love, I wanna make love last
When your up this high, it's a sad goodbye
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
Don't you wanna hold each other tight?
Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight?
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
We can make forever feel this way
Don't you wanna stay?
Oh yeah
Oh, you feel so perfect, baby
Yeah, you feel so perfect, baby
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
Don't you wanna hold each other tight?
Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight?
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?
We can make forever feel this way
Don't you wanna stay, yeah?
Don't you wanna stay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

This is a cute little pop love song about two people just discovering they're in love. The desire to not leave the others side. But restraint, not giving into basic human impulses is what's championed here. Taking it slow. No "Same night lays." It's about exclaiming how badly you want to stay with the person, but you can't, until it's forever. Because you have standards. You hold yourself to a higher standard. "Don't want to just make love, want to make love last." EXACTLY
"Don't you want to hold each other tight, don't you want to fall asleep with me tonight?
And they're both screaming YES! But they don't. And within that restraint, lies the magic.
