Cab lines fill up with hotheaded hard boys
Capering from the stand
Shivering lovers sharing coats and one-liners
Awaiting the late night dance.
Friday hyenas laughing and wheezing
Smoking the cheapest brand
Still off my feet, I'll be numbing the feeling
'Til I know how to safely land.
[Chorus:]
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't hold out
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't hold out.
[Verse 2:]
Usual suspects caught in dirt for their trouble
See them painting the old town red
This misadventure temporarily helps
'Til I'm lying awake in bed.
[Chorus:]
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't hold out
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't, can't, can't hold out.
[Break]
The night
[Chorus:]
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't hold out
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't, can't, can't, can't, can't hold out.
