lyrics

Stumbling out of a downtown bar at midnight

My head is spinning and my legs don’t work right

Some girl I never met before has got my hand

I’m holding on real tight cos I can hardly stand

Next thing I know I’m lying on her bed

She’s working hard to get me set for the best night of my life she said

And to my surprise my body’s shifting into gear

Cos my mind was wishing I was anywhere but here

I wanna be home with you, just talking, laughing, loving like we used to

All alone with you, in a restaurant, in the car or a beach or the bedroom

But you’re gone and this is my way of dealing with the changes,

Sleeping with strangers, regretting it later and wishing I was home with you


Now I’m awake and looking around her bedroom

The smell of damp on the sheets and last week’s perfume

Dirty laundry lying on a dusty floor,

Top of the pile I see my own clothes


That was nowhere near the best night of my life

And I’m pretty sure she’s had much better times

Her morning mouth whispers sweet things in my ear

But my mind is wishing I was anywhere but here
