Sun got stuck, as it's making its way back down We find ourselves, in a familiar part of town And all that I've seen, means nothing to me, without you. So when I see you next, we'll make the most of it Tell the sun to start moving again The taste of your kiss I've still got on my lips And I'll take you there with me Head crashed down, air condition myself to sleep A great night out, that will continue to the end of the week And all that I've seen means nothing to me, without you So when I see you next we'll make the most of it Tell the sun to start moving again The taste of your kiss I've still got on my lips And I'll take you there with me It's you and me connected to a satellite It's you and me and love through a machine It's you and me connected to a satellite It's you and me and love through a machine So when I see you next we'll make the most of it Tell the sun to start moving again The taste of your kiss I've still got on my lips And I'll take you there with me
