And the paints peeling off of my walls
Theres a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette


Now the light fades out
And Im wondering what Im doing in a room like this

Theres a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you


So now Im alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals

And *issues*
And things that I just dont understand
Like a white lie that night

Or a slight touch at times
I dont think it meant anything to you


So I open the door
Its the 'friend that Id left in the hallway
Please sit down

A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask

But, are 'friends electric?
Only, mines broke down
And now Ive no one to love


So I find out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles

And it hurts
And Im lonely
And I should never have tried

And I missed you tonight
So its time to leave
You see this means everything to me
