"Nights Like These" lyrics

Called me out the blue, you needed something to do
And you had one more seat left in the trunk
You said, "We're waiting outside
Don't look at the time"
I put on my favorite sweater, then we got breakfast for dinner
And, when they kicked us out
We went for a ride
Laughed 'til we cried

It feels like a movie
Everything freezes for a second
I let my memory take a picture I won't delete
I hate when it hits me
That we're getting older every second
Slipping away between our fingers in a blink

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I live for nights like these

We go park the car somewhere we can see the stars
And the light pollution isn't so bad
Look out at the lights
The Hollywood heights
Tell me about your dreams, they're not as scary as they seem
And I can't wait to watch you make it big
Yeah, you're going far
But, here, at the start

It feels like forever
I don't wanna jinx it if I say it
But we could be friends through all the ages, don't you think?
Or we could be strangers
The same stupid kids with older faces
I guess either way I wouldn't change a single thing

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I live for nights like these
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I live for nights like these
Ooh, ooh, ooh

And, when I'm 60
Pulling a box out of the attic
Telling my kids about the past like yesterday
They'll point at the pictures
And I'll hear the laughter in the diner
The smell of the coffee and the pancakes never fades

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I live for nights like these
