its cold outside 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 S.U.s 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 it meant everything to me
