I Could Talk to You All Night

I was under the impression

You'd never read a book at all

Too wrapped up in your aggression

Out on the street and fighting brawls

And now you're talking 'bout the sunset

And how the colors turn bright

Suddenly it seems

That I could talk to you for hours

But these hours go like minutes

I could talk to you all night

I never talk like this with Socs

We keep our feelings to ourselves

I tell my friends I like their parties

Wishing I was somewhere else

I know exactly what you're saying

You gotta fake it to belong

I'd rather read than fight a rumble

But Greasers have to go along

It's like you're always just pretending

It's just a part you have to play

Feels like this pressure's never-ending

There's gotta be a better way

But with you it feels so simple

Something about this feels right

Suddenly it seems

I could talk to you for hours

But these hours go like minutes

I could talk to you all night

I don't want this night to end

I bet our friends are wondering where we've been

Can you imagine what they'd say

If any of them heard us talk this way?

Now don't get me wrong when I say I'm surprised

But I never thought I'd see hope in your eyes

It makes me believe that there may be a chance

For a world beyond the Greasers and the Socs

Could it ever be?

And just like that the movie was over

And we talked so dang much, I didn't even catch the end

It was the first time in my life

Anyone actually listened to me like that

Suddenly it seems

I could talk to you for hours

But these hours go like minutes

I could talk to you all night
