No More Nights Alone

She said “hey, it’s just like a book I’ve read

Wish they never made the movie the characters looked better in my head"

I said “that’s funny, it’s just like a song I wrote

That you won’t ever hear because it can’t escape my throat”

Sometimes I sit where your room used to be

Rebuild the walls and windows from memory

Always meant to give back the spare key

Time goes so much slower these days

Our song on the radio plays

I know you meant it when you said

Attention was the only thing I need

But if I’d known

You had no intention of coming home

You’d never spend another night alone

I’ll always be on the other end of the phone

Because your love is all my body’s ever known

Is there a name for this feeling?

Like I’m sealed in your tomb

Spending months and years fighting back the tears and impending

Sense of doom

Well I’m glad you’re home

We’ve gotta talk about somethings

Cause I came back from Sydney with a new tattoo and you came

back with an engagement ring

Well I hope he makes you happy

I hope he makes you smile

I hope he can bring back some of the joy in your voice for a while

Time goes so much slower these days

Our song on the radio plays

I know you meant it when you said

Attention was the only thing I need

But if I’d known

You had no intention of coming home

You’d never spend another night alone

I’ll always be on the end of the fucking phone

And in spite of any country I’d have flown

Because your love is all my body’s ever known
