two o'clock

the moon is down

we say goodnight

you're headed for bed across town

we haven't even known each other that long

but it doesn't even matter

when you leave it feels all wrong



you belong with me

darlin' we belong together

and every time you leave

it's obvious we're still connected

you live in your world

and i live in mine

but the collision of worlds is just a matter of time

you belong with me



now i can tell

you're so afraid

you've been lied to and taken for granted

and treated like some kind of slave

i'm not after your freedom, i'm after your heart

and i know it's gonna happen

and i knew it from the start



what happens to people in love is some kind of mystery

but what passes for love on the streets these days is a joke

so when people like us finally stumble into each other

we've got to hold on tight and never let go
