Sunlight seeps beneath the bedroom door | |
The new day can no longer be denied | |
You’re puzzled by the puddles on the floor | |
It’s time that I came clean about last night | |
I got a phone call from a friend I seldom see | |
Who thought we had some catching up to do | |
Suffice to say I didn’t disagree | |
And when I left I left the porch light on for you | |
Oh, it was such a sultry night | |
Half the city was outside | |
Just like moths drawn to the lights | |
And the stars were several | |
So we found ourselves a mediocre bar | |
And lost ourselves amongst the demimonde | |
A beer for every year that we’d let pass | |
And at “time” we wondered where the time had gone | |
Oh, but the breeze was beautiful | |
As we stumbled past the school | |
And upon the swimming pool | |
It was just too perfect | |
Atop the cyclone fence | |
I could almost see the sense in heading home | |
But the laughter of a friend | |
From the shadows of the shallow end… | |
Oh, when we finally fled the scene | |
Drunk and giddy with chlorine | |
God, I almost felt fifteen | |
Slinking down the street at night | |
Another minute more | |
And we both would have been caught | |
It’s a sobering thought | |
Just when one was needed |
Sunlight seeps beneath the bedroom door | |
The new day can no longer be denied | |
You' re puzzled by the puddles on the floor | |
It' s time that I came clean about last night | |
I got a phone call from a friend I seldom see | |
Who thought we had some catching up to do | |
Suffice to say I didn' t disagree | |
And when I left I left the porch light on for you | |
Oh, it was such a sultry night | |
Half the city was outside | |
Just like moths drawn to the lights | |
And the stars were several | |
So we found ourselves a mediocre bar | |
And lost ourselves amongst the demimonde | |
A beer for every year that we' d let pass | |
And at " time" we wondered where the time had gone | |
Oh, but the breeze was beautiful | |
As we stumbled past the school | |
And upon the swimming pool | |
It was just too perfect | |
Atop the cyclone fence | |
I could almost see the sense in heading home | |
But the laughter of a friend | |
From the shadows of the shallow end | |
Oh, when we finally fled the scene | |
Drunk and giddy with chlorine | |
God, I almost felt fifteen | |
Slinking down the street at night | |
Another minute more | |
And we both would have been caught | |
It' s a sobering thought | |
Just when one was needed |
Sunlight seeps beneath the bedroom door | |
The new day can no longer be denied | |

And we both would have been caught | |
It' s a sobering thought | |
Just when one was needed |
