Kiss Goodnight
Tyler Shaw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

Lying here in silence
So in love, but so afraid
And I'm not gonna deny it
I have never felt this way

Time is sleepin away
And we both know that I can't stay
And time is not on our side
So let's make the most of our last night

I don't wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

'Cause I know in the morning you'll be gone
How am I supposed to carry on
I don't wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever

We're not gonna surrender
Let's stay awake til the sun comes up
Just one night left to remember
So save your tears cause it always rains this time of year

It's time, so let's do this right
'Cause we ain't got all night
And it's time to hold you tight
'Cause we're only minutes from good bye

I don't wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

'Cause I know in the morning you'll be gone
How am I supposed to carry on
I don't wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever

Now the night is over
We both know what it means
Lying here watching the sun come up
Is like waking from a dream

I don't wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

'Cause I know in the morning you'll be gone
How am I supposed to carry on




I don't wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever

"Kiss Goodnight"

I donā€™t wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I donā€™t wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

Lying here in silence
So in love but so afraid
Iā€™m not gonna deny it

Time is slipping away
And we both know that I canā€™t stay
And time, is not on our side
So letā€™s make the most of our last night

[Chorus]
I donā€™t wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I donā€™t wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever
Cause I know in the morning youā€™ll be gone
How am I supposed to carry on
I donā€™t wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I donā€™t wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

Weā€™re not gonna surrender
Letā€™s stay awake till the sun comes up
Just one night have to remember
Save your tears, cause you know it rains this time of the year
Itā€™s time, so letā€™s do this right
Cause we ainā€™t got all night
Itā€™s time to hold you tight
Cause weā€™re only minutes from goodbye

[Chorus]
I donā€™t wanna kiss good night

I donā€™t wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I donā€™t wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

Now the night is over
We both know what it means
Lying here, watching the sun come up
Itā€™s like waking from a dream and yeah!

I donā€™t wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I donā€™t wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

[Chorus]
I donā€™t wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
I donā€™t wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever
Cause I know in the morning youā€™ll be gone
