20 Minutes Lyrics by Olly Alexander

Night Call (New Year’s Edition)

2022

[Verse 1]
Shut up, stop talking
I don't want to make another new friend tonight
But I could use some company
Not being heartless
Think I just need someone physically close to me
If you know what I mean, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't see myself lovin' nobody
I don't think I'm ready to (Don't think I'm ready to)
You're the most beautiful creature
I feel something between me and you (Between me and you)

[Chorus]
Take me out somewhere loud
There's no end and no beginning
Just twenty, twenty minutes
In your arms, in the dark
Therе's no sorry or forgiving
Just twenty, twenty minutes (Oh yеah)

[Verse 2]
A lifetime in a moment
Feels like I lived and then I died right by your side
But you can't stop the hands of time
I better be leaving
No sense in waiting 'til the morning
Don't wanna feel your fingertips dancin' on my skin (Oh yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't see myself lovin' nobody
I don't think I'm ready to (Don't think I'm ready to)
You're the most beautiful creature
I feel something between me and you (Between me and you)

[Chorus]
Take me out (Take me out), somewhere loud (Somewhere loud)
There's no end and no beginning
Just twenty, twenty minutes
In your arms (In your arms), in the dark (In the dark)
There's no sorry or forgiving
Just twenty, twenty minutes
Take me out (Take me out), somewhere loud (Somewhere loud)
There's no end and no beggining
Something good for twenty minutes
In your arms (In your arms), in the dark (In the dark)
There's no sorry or forgiving
Just twenty, twenty minutes (Oh yeah)

[Bridge]
So much can happen in twenty minutes
It was love and we had it for twenty minutes
And it felt so dramatic
Just twenty, twenty minutes
So much can happen in twenty minutes
It was love and we had it for twenty minutes
And it's beautifully tragic
Just twenty, twenty minutes

[Chorus]
Take me out somewhere loud
There's no end and no beginning
Something good for twenty minutes
In your arms, in the dark
There's no sorry or forgiving
Just twenty, twenty minutes (Oh yeah)
