Only For A Moment - Arkells

Dressed up, you got your hair done up

For the first time in a couple weeks

You choked up from a real gut punch

You got some colour back in your cheeks

You keep a picture on the wall of your family

You keep a journal to reflect

You keep a picture on the wall of your family

Your secrets close to your chest

If only for a moment tonight

You’re not looking over your shoulder

If only for a moment tonight

I dipped you low and we both fell over

At karaoke we would trade in each verse

You wore my jacket and I carried your purse

For a moment tonight

Only for a moment, yeah we can feel alright

(We could we could we could feel alright)

(We could we could we could feel alright)

I freeze, my heart skips a beat

Every time I hear the phone ringing

You pick up and speak soft in the next room

I hold my breath and try to listen in

The doctor said this might run in the family

So we’ll be keeping an eye

The doctor said this might run in the family

So stand by, we’re standing by

If only for a moment tonight

You’re not looking over your shoulder

If only for a moment tonight

I dipped you low and we both fell over

At karaoke we would trade in each verse

You wore my jacket and I carried your purse

For a moment tonight

Only for a moment, yeah we can feel alright

(We could we could we could feel alright)

(We could we could we could feel alright)

(We could we could we could feel alright)

(We could we could we could feel alright)

She fell asleep beside me in the back seat of a cab

I leaned in to kiss her forehead, she reached out to grab my hand

We got back to our apartment, set the alarm for 7 AM

'Cause we’re driving back to our hometown where the walls are caving in

If only for a moment tonight

You’re not looking over your shoulder

If only for a moment tonight

I dipped you low and we both fell over

At karaoke we would trade in each verse

You wore my jacket and I carried your purse

For a moment tonight

If only for a moment, yeah we can feel alright

(We could we could we could feel alright)

(We could we could we could feel alright)

(We could we could we could feel alright)

(We could we could we could feel alright)
