Peter Ngqibs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Me and my girl were chilling talking smack at this bar
We sharing stories, cracking jokes, and laughing so hard
I didn’t notice you behind me, baby you weren’t even far
(Till you caught my eye)
You asked if anyone had taken the seat next to me
I said it’s yours, I still don’t know if it was free
You smiled and settled down
In a short time, with your open heart
A short time, I was mesmerized
A short time, I was soaring high
(Soaring high)
In that moment, don’t wanna leave this
Moment, make it longer this
Moment, stay with me in this
Moment
Moment, don’t wanna leave this
Moment, make it longer this
Moment, I want more of these
Moments, with you
Found myself reminiscing on that night
I don’t know what you are but I know what I like
I hope you felt the same and you weren’t just polite
But you had to have fun ‘cause you didn’t run
From the drinks and the wink that you gave ‘cross the room
Way that you swept me up, I could float on your broom
And these moments all end, yeah the clock got us doomed
I just wish that you didn’t have to leave so soon
‘Cause the breath of your words felt like summer’s wind
When you opened your mind I was quick to get in
Now I’m back at the bar, wishin’ upon a star
To get a second chance when you step out the car
In that moment, don’t wanna leave this
Moment, make it longer this
Moment, stay with me in this
Moment
Moment, don’t wanna leave this
Moment, make it longer this
Moment, I want more of these
Moments, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
In that moment, don’t wanna leave this
Moment, make it longer this
Moment, stay with me in this
Moment
Moment, don’t wanna leave this
Moment, make it longer this
Moment, I want more of these
Moments, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
Oh, you with
