|
It's too dark |
|
Just the passing cars illuminate the room |
|
And it's harder every time I see you |
|
And then when you leave I'm wondering when would be too soon |
|
But you ain't mine to miss |
|
And it's time we put a line down in the dust |
|
I know what friendship is |
|
And it sure doesn't feel like us |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Go home to her, while you still can |
|
It's much too late now for drafting up new plans |
|
And your woman's got an honest man |
|
I always thought, so don't do nothing now to make me take it back |
|
Now I'm sure that you've seen a girl go flushed before |
|
But I don't want to get touched |
|
I don't want to be moved |
|
I don't want to think much |
|
I just want to get through |
|
With my hands in my pockets |
|
While we can, let's just stop already |
|
Have my own problems, I'm not trying to get sainted |
|
I don't need to be good |
|
I'm just trying to stay blameless |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I've seen our better natures |
|
Flashing like a pair of flipping coins |
|
And I know it's getting late |
|
'Cause I can see exactly what's been running through your mind |
|
And I don't pretend or tease |
|
I like it less than you |
|
It's been a long time lonely, I've got less to lose |
|
But here's a chance to do right |
|
This is the stuff of real life |
|
Let's just let this one slide, say our goodbyes |
|
[Chorus] |
|
...don't do nothing now to make me take it back |
