Not Tonight Lyrics by Ten Fé

Future Perfect, Present Tense

2018

I remember on summer nights
We'd run for cover to ignore the daylight
In the darkness we’d go on and on again
Now summer ended and cover's gone
Even sweet nothings seem to taste too strong
Still you tell me but I can't say it back again
Not tonight
All I wanna say is I’ve tried but I can't rewind
Not tonight
I don't wanna run away, but the longer we play for time
We're getting left behind
Every night I'm trying to warn you
But you're still sleeping in those clothes I bought you
Come home lately, and I can't hold it back again
Not tonight
All I wanna say is I've tried but I can’t rewind
Not tonight
I don’t wanna run away but the longer we play for time
We're getting left behind
No, day after day
We pause and replay
Don’t stand in the way
Let it all fade away
Not tonight
All I wanna say is I've tried but I can't rewind
Not tonight
I don't wanna run away but we’ve got to leave those days behind
Ain't gonna play for time
