Love on the Outside

A night out on the streets, yeah just you and me.

A pint and cigarettes, Yeah that’s all we need.

Now we were never strangers, but now that’s all we meet.

So stay a little longer, before you have to leave.

A thousand people walking by us, Couldn’t look us in the eyes.

Its hard to blame them if the never lift their heads and try.

‘Cause down here there’s no in between, there’s only black and white.

No one wants to be reminded. They’d rather just be blind.

I just can’t forget the life that put me in this mess,

No one would want to walk a mile in these shoes

But I have to forgive the fate that brought me down here baby,

If only because it brought me close to you.

Another cigarette, burning down the time

Another sip of whiskey, drowning out my mind

Another feast for two, that someone left behind.

Another kiss from you, makes me feel alive.
