Just Tonight

Weeeeeeeell...

This is an interesting one and one of my current favourites. Actually that may in part be because it's the first song I've been able to play completely on my acoustic guitar from start to finish. That aside, I think it kinda found me more than the other way round.

"Just Tonight", another song from The Pretty Reckless describes far too many people for my liking. I think in many ways it might just describe me in ways I'd rather not see. Does anyone ever really see who you really are? Do you ever really know who they are? I guess those questions pale in comparison to the question, "Do you really want to?" Isn't just so much easier to see or believe what we want to... or worse yet to offer that which we believe is wanted rather than who we really are. Ultimately this could go round and round in circles.

Here we are and I can think from all the pills
Hey, start the car and take me home
Here we are and you're too drunk to hear a word I say
Start the car and take me home

Just tonight I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
It's all because of you
Just tonight

But here I am and I can't seem to see straight
But I'm too numb to feel right now
And here I am watching the clock that's ticking away my time
I'm too numb to feel right now

Just tonight I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
It's all because of you
Just tonight

Just Tonight

Do you understand who I am
Do you wanna know
Can you really see through me now
I am 'bout to go

But just tonight I won't leave
I'll lie and you'll believe
Just tonight I will see
It's all because of me

Just tonight I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
It's all because of you
Just tonight

It's all because of you
Just tonight

It's all because of you
Just tonight

It's all because of you
Just tonight

It's all because of you
Just tonight

Maybe we just settle for "just tonight" far too often that eventually it becomes the next and so on? Are we just settling a lie to oneself has to be the most despicable.
