You're calling out the constellations
I swear you know them all by name
I see the moon accentuating
The summer freckles on your face, and I
Already miss right now
And I wish I could slow this down
Slow it down

'Cause time only moves in one direction
These are the nights we won't get back
Don't wanna waste one single second
Don't want the stars to fall so fast
'Cause someday we'll be saying how
We wish we could turn back around
Time only moves in one direction
Come on, get close, come let me hold you now

'Cause I just wanna memorize you
And every detail I can see
So even though we can't rewind it
I'll have a picture I can keep
'Cause I already miss right now
And I wish I could slow this down
Slow it down

'Cause time only moves in one direction
These are the nights we won't get back
Don't wanna waste one single second
Don't want the stars to fall so fast
'Cause someday we'll be saying how
We wish we could turn back around
Time only moves in one direction
Come on, get close, come let me hold you now

Nothing is forever
And now I'm just figuring out
That's what makes it better
So come let me hold you now

Oh

'Cause time only moves in one direction
These are the nights we won't get back
Don't wanna waste one single second
Don't want the stars to fall so fast
'Cause someday we'll be saying how
We wish we could turn back around
Time only moves in one direction
Come on, get close, come let me hold you now

(Oh, oh, oh)
Come let me hold you now
(Oh, oh, oh)
Come let me hold you now
