The Night Is Young Lyrics & Chords By Scott Matthews

Have you ever wondered what it would be like
To bury your life and start over again?
Posting our keys through the narrow letterbox
The night is young but we're getting older, as night moves fast

The cat is sleeping unaware in the back of the car
My baby believes we're right
To leave it all behind
But saying goodbye
Proves harder every time

All we packed were prayers for the saviour of our loved ones
We never figured we'd need much more
The ivy climbs and holds on for dear life
Our senses fry as the heat of the moment
Blurs our eyes and sounds unclear
As the smell of home recedes

Into the unknown we disappear
I look at your anxious smile
And kiss you on the lips
As we drive into the mist

'Cause nothing now can change
The way we feel as the moon's off guard
For every doubt in our way
There beats an optimist's heart
Dreams are never content in the dark
Let's begin our escape
Before the moon suspects something

Curiosity spoke wholeheartedly
"This is meant to be
Trust my eyes"
We felt the honesty of the words it speaks
We're so thoughtlessly giving into your lies

No sooner we are miles away, we carry the weight
As our heavy hearts feel sick
And we heard the drunks in the churchyard sing a welcome home song

But nothing now can change
The way we feel as the moon's off guard
For every doubt in our way
There beats an optimist's heart
Dreams are never content in the dark
Let's begin our escape
Before the moon suspects something
