Open Till Midnight
She needed shelter from the rain
She saw it on the sign
It said we're open till midnight
I'm sorry by the way
I came here just the other day
And you look so familiar
And maybe you and I
Can have a drink and start the night
With a friendly conversation
You know
Can you and I be truthful now
What you running away from
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you running away from
She woke up at 4 am to smoke a cigarette again
And she stood in the doorway
She said I love to watch you sleep
And hear the secrets that you keep
And remember what my father told me
He said stay strong and don't forget to call
But don't ever come back at all
Can you and I be truthful now
What you running away from
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you running away from
Things don't turn out quite the way we planned
Didn't you even try
When you knew something steered you wrong again
When did you decide
You don't belong here
You don't belong
No
Can you and I be truthful now
What you running away from
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you running away from
I'm just a runaway
I seek the end that you follow
I cannot think today
What you running away from
I'm just a runaway
I seek the end that you follow
I cannot think today
I'm just a empty shell
