lyrics

late night with you again
drunk in the living room at 2am
I turn the heater on
we listen to those songs

we annoy the cat and
the years they went fast
and I didn’t know it’d last
but I didn’t think it’d end either

I spare a thought for those outside
in the cold dark of the night and
we discuss human rights
as you pour another one

though I know it’s just a room
it holds the shape of I and you
and the comfort of that time
that we cried all night

and I know that life goes on but I feel I’m the only one
who is sitting on the porch watching the world go by

and I’m the one that’s left behind
I watch people’s lives from the ousitde

just watch the world go by

I watch people’s lives from the outside
