One more night
One more night till the morning
One more night
One more night till the day
I'll be right
I'll be right in the morning
I'll be alright
I'll be right in the day

But I believe it
One more night till the morning
But I believe it

I'll be trying in the day
No more lies
No more lies in the morning
No more lies
No more lies in the day

But I believe it
One more night till the morning
But I believe it
One more night till the morning

I'll be holding on
Holding in
I'll be holding on
And holding in
I'll be holding on
And holding in

One more night
One more night till the morning
One more night
One more night till the day

I'm on fire
I'm on fire for the morning
I'm on fire
