You said, "Don't wait up, don't count the minutes."
|
So here I am watching paint fade from the walls.
|
On the TV, planes are dancing to the national anthem,
|
So the whole world knows it's long past last call.
|
|
I sat through Tarzan swinging through the jungle,
|
And Godzilla crushing buildings and all.
|
The light from this TV can make it all look so easy.
|
It makes this room feel incredibly small.
|
|
Last call, last call.
|
Now I've heard it all.
|
The excuses get weaker as the stories get tall.
|
You step off with the wrong foot, the drunk fool at the ball.
|
Well, I'm not up for dancing.
|
I'm up past last call.
|
|
Clock keeps on talkin'.
|
It says, "Fool go to bed --
|
Why waste the words, they've already been said."
|
But I can't shut my eyes with this face in my head,
|
So tonight I plan on clearing my mind.
|
|
I could lay my head in the arms of the sofa,
|
And wait for headlights to roll across these walls.
|
But when your key finds the door, your feet find the floor,
|
They'll be greeted by empty rooms and empty halls.
