lyrics

To the night that looks like it’s wanting to play
To the sip that took all my bad days away
To the smile that makes me just want to go home
I know you’re there so may I never feel alone, feel alone

To the man at the back
Who looked the wrong way at me
I got five things in my hand
That I want him to see

To the night, the words they arrived out of tune
You looked at me ad you knew that I’d emptied the room
You leaned over and said babe I don’t think it’s your time
Forget the room and get back to our bottle of wine

But there’s a man at the back
Who looked the wrong way at me
And I’ve got five things in my hand
That I need him to see

Then and now
I sit all alone, try not to pick up the phone
Prepared with no answer to questions they no longer ask
Sit mostly these days
And try not to mention the haze
Where words had no interest unless they were set
To a blaze

Some people love you
And call you by name
Others don’t listen
Others want something to see

Some people love you
And call you by name
Others don’t listen
Others just want to see flames

To the night
That looks like it’s wanting to play
