Take off your mask
Place it on the mantle
Take my hand
Let me light the candles
Dance with me a while
Let me you under your skin
Let me know those eyes
Tonight we can both win
Tomorrow I'll wait by the bridge
We can flee town, just answer
We can run into the sunset
You can be my lovely dancer
Sway with me a while
Stay with me a while
Let me love you
Your eyes and your smile
I said I'd wait by the bridge
But I drive away before the sun set
You deserve better than me
You just don't know it yet
I promised you the world
All I could offer was this town
I'm leaving, I'm so sorry
Sorry, for letting you down
You stand there in the dust
In the dust of my engine
I promise I'll come back for you
For our happy ending
