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
Well, you'd never spend another night alone
I'll always be on the other end of the phone
You're the only love 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
An impending sense of doom

I'm glad you're home
We've gotta talk about some things
'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
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
Well, you'd never spend another night alone
I will always be on the end of the fucking phone
In spite of any country I'd have flown
'Cause you're the only love my body's ever known
