Grace Potter & the Nocturnals – Lose Some Time

You got a baby pretty as Creole Queen

And my old man’s got eyes of blue and green

But you took me dancing when our lovers weren’t around

You called it losing time in the inbetween, oh

It could be all the booze we drank in Austin

Or could be we’re just scared of growing old

Could be this ain’t no way of living

But there ain’t nothing like that rock ‘n’ roll

And when that light shines on you

Baby, you know it soothes my soul

And finding time to lose with you

Is water in the dust bowl

I got arms to hold me every night

But I’m still sleeping with a ghost

And your kisses are so sweet and slow

It feels alright as long as they don’t know

We rolled out of a hotel room in Georgia

Just in time to say a quick goodbye

But you don’t even look over your shoulder

You’re thinking how you’ll look your baby in the eye

But when that light shines on you

Baby, you know it soothes my soul

And finding time to lose with you

Is water in the dust bowl

And I got arms to hold me every night

But I’m still sleeping with a ghost

And your kisses are so sweet and slow

It feels alright as long as nobody knows

Sweet like sugarcane, slow like a midnight train

You like to call me every now and then

And I just can’t wait to lose some time again

Lose some time again

Oh, ‘cause when that light shines on you

Baby, you know it soothes my soul

And finding time to lose with you

Is water in the dust bowl

And I got arms to hold me every night

But I’m still sleeping with your ghost

Because your kisses are so sweet and slow

It feels alright as long as nobody knows, nobody knows
