**[Verse 1]** Tonight the horns in traffic sound like music Your suitcase is already waiting by the door “You better not fall for me,” I was the one who said it But now my heart is racing more than ever before **[Pre-Chorus]** I know, I know This is magic with an expiration date **[Chorus]** Hey, how many minutes till the time runs out? Let's dance until the yellow cab comes around Forget about forever, forget about tomorrow Just for tonight, let me pretend I'm the happiest girl alive It sounds crazy, I know, but I mean it Stop me before I say, “Please don't go” **[Verse 2]** The road to the airport feels longer than it ever did Somebody else's love song is playing on the radio Let's not say those words, “Maybe someday” Instead, let's hold hands and walk a little slower **[Pre-Chorus]** I know, I know This is magic with an expiration date **[Chorus]** Hey, how many minutes till the time runs out? Let's dance until the yellow cab comes around Forget about forever, forget about tomorrow Just for tonight, let me pretend I'm the happiest girl alive It sounds crazy, I know, but I mean it Stop me before I say, “Please don't go” **[Bridge]** Even when I leave this city someday I hope this night never fades away Even when the time zones change Inside my heart, it will always be midnight **[Final Chorus]** Hey, how many seconds till the time runs out? Before the yellow cab door opens wide Let's pretend we don't care about forever or tomorrow Just for tonight, I want to be the happiest girl alive It sounds crazy, I know, but I meant every word So instead of goodbye I'll smile for you
