[Verse 1] The parking lot is wet again From a cloud that came and went You wore that faded denim smile Like you knew me all the while We traded names for cigarette smoke And laughed till the roadside broke I still hear your laugh come back From the backseat, through the black [Pre-Chorus] And the clock on the dash Kept burning slow We were young enough To think we'd never go [Chorus] Take me back tonight Take me back tonight I still chase that glow Where the broken hours go Take me back tonight Take me back tonight Same old road, same spark Pulling me through the dark [Verse 2] The diner glass held our ghosts In the fry oil, in the toast You drew a heart in the steam Then wiped it clean like a dream I kept your number in a song But the tape wore thin too long Now every town with a red-eyed sign Feels like a frame from another time [Pre-Chorus] And the clock on the dash Kept burning slow We were young enough To think we'd never go [Chorus] Take me back tonight Take me back tonight I still chase that glow Where the broken hours go Take me back tonight Take me back tonight Same old road, same spark Pulling me through the dark [Bridge] I don't need the whole world Just that minute, just that place Your hand on the window glass My heartbeat out of pace If I call your name Will it crack the spell? Or just open up What I knew too well [Final Chorus] Take me back tonight Take me back tonight I still chase that glow Where the broken hours go Take me back tonight Take me back tonight Same old road, same spark Pulling me through the dark Take me back tonight (Take me back tonight) Take me back tonight (Take me back tonight)
