Wake me up with laughter

Wrap me in your arms

This ain't no morning after

Never been so warm

It didn't take so long

For us to feel this way

Can a good thing last

Longer than a day

Abby Scuito opened her eyes at the sound of quiet laughter. She turned her head slightly and found herself wrapped in Timothy McGee's warm embrace. Morning sunlight streamed through the window, warming her even further with its rays.

It didn't take long at all for them to feel the way they did about each other. Abby was now wondering if she and Tim could make this last for longer than a few days.

Where do we take it now

Now that we caught fire

Will something greater grow

Out of this desire

Should I drop my guard

At the risk of being used

But the way you do those things to me

How can I refuse

The Goth thought, Where do we take it now, now that we caught fire? Will something greater grow out of this desire?

Whenever Abby had let down her guard concerning men, she'd been used. Should she drop her guard for McGee at the same risk? But, oh, the way he did those things to her, how could she refuse?

I could get addicted

To your energy

The way you take me over

Mmm keeps pulling on me

Our hearts beat together

Our timing is the same

Can I trust my feelings

Save myself the pain

Tony held Ziva close, his lips brushing over her temple. Honestly, she could become addicted to his energy. Already the way he had taken her over kept pulling on her. She could feel his heart beating in time with her own. Their timing was the same. Ziva thought, Can I trust my feelings, save myself the pain?

Where do we take it now

Now that we caught fire

Will something greater grow

Out of this desire

Should I drop my guard

At the risk of being used

But the way you do those things to me

How can I refuse

Where did they take it now, now that they had finally given in to their feelings and caught fire? Ziva was hoping that something greater could grow out of this desire. She wondered, Should I drop my guard at the risk of being used? Every other time she did, she had been. Yet the way Tony did those things to her, how could Ziva refuse?

We could share the mystery

Spare ourselves the misery

Discover it again every day

We could take love all the way

Both Abby and Ziva felt that they could share the mystery with their respective guys, sparing themselves the misery at the same time. With McGee and DiNozzo, respectively, they could discover it again every day. The four of them could take love all the way.

Where do we take it now

Now that we caught fire

Will something greater grow

Out of this desire

Should I drop my guard

At the risk of being used

But the way you do those things to me

How can I refuse

How can I refuse you

How can I refuse you

How can I refuse you
