It was light out when we got here, now the sky is turning grey
But I'd wait out here till dawn if you asked me to stay
And I never thought that I could love him any more
When I saw his reflection in that sliding glass door
I've been reckless and I've been unkind
But I swear it's different now that I've changed my mind
And I'm glad you kept me even though you know I've lied
Something in you must have turned to turn the tide
Now the pretty girls are dancing underneath the pretty lights
And I think it's a lovely night for whiskey and red wine
So I pray to something that this night never ends
Because if we stay forever our broken hearts may mend
I was reckless and I was so unkind
But I swear it's different now I've made up my mind
And I'm glad you keep me even when I try to hide
Something in us must have turned to turn the tide
Something in us must have turned to turn the tide
