The sun came out of nowhere like a bar fight
You used to push back the darkness like a floodlight
And we could make a time line to last our whole lives
With no anesthetic you are bound to be sore
Where you could be anyone or they could be you
Now I let my troubles solve themselves
And we can talk in circles, no dollar figures
We don't know but no one knows what's further up the road
And it knocked out the wind and it bruised me with light
Just what is owed or paid
And just when I got fed up with that gray sky
But I know you feel safer in a group
But tonight that's a secret, like the soul of a whore
But tonight we'll take risks that you can afford
And I felt grateful for living just like I feel tonight
But tonight let's pretend that we're just like we were
Just wait and see
We can make predictions, I know you see the future
Night trickles down our throats
But tonight I'm drinking all peaceful and warm
'Cause you're a tolerant woman and the world is at war
When I got dry as a desert, I got mean
I was as lonely and empty as a canteen
And I agree and we agreed, tonight’s not happening
I used to get involved, but I'm just no help
Just wait and see
You still have bars on your windows and a hole in your door
All in time
But tonight I don't mind if I spend a little more
I know you witnessed my decline
That if you want to have fun you just have to ignore
Let me stay until the morning, I'll sleep on the floor
We can talk in circles around a dirty mirror
