from the songs album Don't Be Afraid
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat gray hair smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out
And i wonder what i'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second i thought i remembered you
So now i'm alone
And i can think for myself
About little deals and s.u.'s
And things i just don't understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you
So i open the door
It's the friend that i'd 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
Mine's broken down
And now i've no one to love
So i found out your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and i'm lonely
And i should never have tried
And i missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see this meant everything to me
