lyrics

I want everyone to stand up
And tell me why did you come here tonight
I can hazard a guess at one of three reasons for
Enjoying the lights
I asked this question the day she called me
And said, “I’m on my way to your house”
Fresh off the train she put me to shame
But only made clear intentions to herself

So now we both wear frowns
I’ve been feeling somewhat down

For reasons I won’t go into now
She’s here listening to me sing like a clown
Feel free to stay past the point when my eyelids shut down
Just close the lights on your way out

It was easy enough the first time
Speaking on neutral ground
Kind of out of practice but going for a hat trick I
Laid my weapons down
It was the same when we behind closed doors
Though I was a little unkind
But why would someone stay so late in a place
Which should be at the back of their mind

So now we both wear frowns
I’ve been feeling somewhat down

For reasons I won’t go into now
She’s here listening to me sing like a clown
Feel free to stay past the point when my eyelids shut down
Just close the lights on your way out

I’ve been going into town
Hoping to ignore the strain of the messaging system she’s found
Feel free to stay past the point where my patience runs out
Just close the lights on your way out

The next day it suddenly hit me
What she’d been waiting for
The next time my friends should come with me
To point out the potholes and flaws
So now I wear a frown
I’ve been feeling somewhat down

There’s reasons I won’t go into now
She’s here listening to me sing like a clown
Feel free to stay past the point when my eyelids shut down
Just close the lights on your way out

I’ve been going into town
Hoping to ignore the strain of the messaging system she’s found
Feel free to stay past the point where my patience runs out
Just close the lights on your way out
