Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
hold me tight
sometimes i need someone
to hold me title
another hotel
another lonely flight
it's easy to miss you
and nobody else feels to right
know too well
you got a touch that I know too well
and I don't want to teach anybody
it takes everything in me to not call you up and ask
[Pre-Chorus]
don't you ever feel like that
don't you ever feel like giving in
for a night
I know I do
don't you ever feel like that
don't you ever feel like you and I
we could try
[Chorus]
even if we're not we got no future
even if we're not we got no future
that don't mean I'm ready to lose you
even if we're not we got no choice
[Verse 2]
pick up the phone just to hear your voice
do you have someone to fill the void
I just want to know do you still think of what we had
[Pre-Chorus]
don't you ever feel like that
don't you ever feel like giving in
for a night
I know I do
don't you ever feel like that
don't you ever feel like you and I
we could try
[Chorus]
even if we're not we got no future
even if we're not we got no future
that don't mean I'm ready to lose you
even if we're not we got no choice
[Bridge]
you feel like home
and I'm homesick
I'm sick of this
lonely
just want you to hold me tonight
[instrumental break]
[Chorus]
even if we're not we got no future
even if we're not we got no future
that don't mean I'm ready to lose you
even if we're not we got no
even if we're not we got no choice
