for the night

You let me in with the general admission
But I was just happy I scored a seat at your show
I tried to help you realize your vision
But you said my thoughts were something you didn't need to know
Tell me, why then am I sitting here
With my clothes on the floor?
When you don't want me
Why do I want nothing more?

It's just for the night, I guess
We probably won't get much rest
But honestly I'm impressed
You strung me along this far
It's just for the night it seems
We don't need to purchase any rings
We don't give each other anything
Except our bodies in the dark

I tried to learn how to cut off my strings
But it looks as though you're tangled up in one
(You're tangled, you're tangled, you're tangled)
I told myself not to notice the little things
But I can't help remembering I'm somebody's son
Tell me, why then am I sitting here
With my location turned off?
I wanna call you by your name, oh
But I think that I forgot

It's just for the night, I guess
We probably won't get much rest
But honestly I'm impressed
You strung me along this far
It's just for the night it seems
You probably won't see me in your dreams
We don't give each other anything
Except our bodies in the dark

Am I no more than a one night stand?
Is your boyfriend calling, did I touch your hand?
Am I no more than some loose cocaine
That fucks up the chemicals in your brain?
Am I no more than some spare endorphins
With pretty eyes and good proportions?
Am I no more than a contact high?
Doesn't matter when we've only got one night
