Its cold outside
And the paints peeling off my walls
Theres a man outside
In a long coat gray hair smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out
And I wonder 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
And I can think for myself
About little deals and s.u.s
And things I just dont understand

Like a white lie that night
Or a sly 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 shadow on the wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask
But are friends electric?
Only
Mines broken down
And now Ive no one to love

So I found out your reasons
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 this meant everything to me
