Don't Wait Up

[Verse] The band was loud on Seventh Street. Trumpets laughing through the heat. You walked in late with stormy eyes. Like trouble wearing a silk disguise. You said “Baby, I’m just passing through.” But your smile said that wasn't true. You stole my drink and took my chair. Like you belonged there all these years. [Pre-Chorus] The piano’s running wild tonight, And darling so are we. Yeeeeeeah! [Chorus] So don’t wait up, don’t slow down. Let the brass spin this whole town around. Hearts get lost where the saxophones cry. And the moon hangs low in a sultry sky. Don’t ask why, don’t ask when. We might not find this night again. So, pull me close while the trumpets play. And don’t hold on… … to yesterday. [Instrument Break] [Verse] Your heels were tapping time with mine. Like we rehearsed this beat all our lives. The drummer winked, the lights went gold. And suddenly the room turned slow. [Pre-Chorus] Tomorrow’s just a jealous ghost. Trying to keep us from getting too close. [Chorus] So don’t wait up, don’t slow down. Let the band shake the rafters down. Love shows up when the rhythm’s right. In a velvet dress and neon light. Don’t ask why, don’t ask when. We might not find this night again. So, pull me close while the trumpet cries. And let me fall… deep into those... … Smoky eyes. (Smoky Eyes) [Instrument Outro] [Chorus - Outro] Don’t ask why, don’t ask when. We might not find this night again. So, pull me close while the trumpets play. And don’t hold on… … to Yesterday. (Smoky Eyes)
