lyrics

One night stand is all I need
to get me by now that you’re gone.
It won’t be long…

You know me; I’ve trouble making
heads or tails of where I am &
what I do to get me by
just gets me down.

So I sleep more & more each day
in a bed that keeps me up at night-
it’s two miles wide & just long enough
for me to curl up & die.

One night stand’s a little worse for wear
but so am I.

If you came back for what you left behind,
leave behind
a little scrap of dignity
I won’t know what to do with.

One night stand suffices-
I just use the same bullshit lines
you used to find so charming
years ago.

Now the table’s turned into
a compromise you don’t deserve,
a memory of you & me
I can’t endure.

One night stand is all I need
to get me by now that you’re gone.
It won’t be long
before you’ll want that too…

If you came back for what you left behind,
don’t forget
to kick me while I’m down
looking for the changes
underneath the happy home
you thought to rearrange.

I’m finding all the things
that I should have put my name on.
