Open Til Midnight

She needed shelter from the rain

She saw it on the sign

It said we're open till midnight

I'm sorry by the way

I came here just the other day

And you look so familiar

And maybe you and I can have a drink and start the night

With a friendly conversation, oh

Can you and I be truthful now?

What you run away from

And then you know the pain to make it through somehow

What you run away from

What you run away from

She woke before AM

To smoke a cigarette again

And she stood in the doorway (Stood in the doorway)

She said I love to watch you sleep

And hear the secrets that you keep

And remember what my father told me (Told me)

He said stay strong and don't forget to call

But don't ever come back at all

Can you and I be truthful now?

What you run away from

And then you know the pain to make it through somehow

What you run away from

What you run away from

It feel wrong

I think sometimes I'll cry the way I planned to

And even try

When you know something steered you wrong again

When did you decide

You don't belong here

You don't belong

Can you and I be truthful now?

What you run away from

And then you know the pain to make it through somehow

What you run away from

What you run away from

Can you and I be truthful now?

What you run away from

And then you know the pain to make it through somehow

What you run away from

What you run away from

I still walk away

I still clearly follow

I can not think today

What you run away from

I'm just a run away

I still can not follow

I can not think today

I'm just an empty shell
