nu

it's gotten late and now i want to be alone
all of our friends were here, they all have gone home
and here i sit on the front porch watching the drunks stumble forth into the night
you gave me a heart attack, i did not see you there
i thought you had disappeared so early away from here
and this is the chance i never got to make a move
but we just talk about the people we've met in the last five years
and will we remember them in ten more?

i let you bum a smoke, you quit this winter past
i've tried twice before
but like this, it just won't last
