The Long Night That Lies Ahead

And once again you've found me

In the only way that you can

You've swallowed all my thoughts

And now you're drowning all my senses

And you gradually surround me

As I dance beside McGahan

In this pyrotechnic paradise

You're perfectly relentless

You're simply irresistible

And I answer every one of your calls

It's momentary madness, but I'm aware of this

And I'm a man on a mission

You grab my hair without a care

And we thrust against a wall, and another wall

And with animal exuberance

We release all inhibitions

And it's the long night that lies ahead

An hour's gone, and now it's started

It's far too long since you departed

It's the long night that lies ahead
And you've left me broken and empty

And so depressed

Instinctively inseparable

I'm enthralled within you, and your existence

You lead me down to a darkened room

And we kiss

Increasingly irreparable

I'm in awe even though you're destroying me
For as long as I can remember

I've never felt like this

And it's the long night that lies ahead

An hour's gone, and now it's started

It's far too long since you departed

It's the long night that lies ahead
And you've left me broken and empty

And so depressed

And the room is cold and far too bright

And I'm slowly drifting through the night

Constantly awaken by the aching in my chest

I stare up at the empty ceiling, body starts to drain of feeling

But somehow that's much better than it was before

I wish my mind would do the same
Instead it's screaming out her name:

I simply can't forget her, the woman I adore
And there's not much more of this that I can take

I'm far too scared to simply stay awake

And I'm deafened by the sound of nothing whatsoever

Feeling null, and void, and petrified, and paranoid
For as long as I can remember

I've never felt like this
And I never want to feel like this again

And it's the long night that lies ahead

An hour's gone, and now it's started

It's far too long since you departed

It's the long night that lies ahead
And you've left me broken and empty

And so depressed

Three More Days

Now I've never been the kind of guy to introduce or even try
But then I saw you and I don't know why, but I changed
And then my confidence was captured with spontaneous suggestion
And all I had to do was go and ask a simple question
But the words were proving difficult to find, difficult to find...

And I'd barely had the time to think
Well should we go for a dance, or a quiet drink?
A romantic meal, and maybe flowers?
And I was left with seconds but I needed hours
And so I rise above my seat, and my palms start to sweat
And my heart skips four beats, and then her eyes met
Oh no...I'd better go over and talk to her!

And I know we've never met and I'm frantic
But hey, I'm just trying to be romantic
I got this funny feeling, d'ya fancy drinks tomorrow evening?
Yeah, there's simply nothing more to say
I'm only here for three more days
Yeah, tomorrow evening, what d'ya say?
'cause I'm only here for three more days

And so I try and search for signs, and think of words I should have said
And now the question's gone, and the lines they just keep running through my head
And she glances down then looks around and meets me in the eye
We share a smile, it's all worthwhile, I've given her my reply
Oh yeah...I'm gonna keep-on talking to her!

And I know we've never met and I'm frantic
But hey, I'm just trying to be romantic
I got this funny feeling, d'ya fancy drinks tomorrow evening?
Yeah, there's simply nothing more to say
I'm only here for three more days
Pretty soon, yeah, I'll be on my way
'cause I'm only here for three more days

And now you're sat beside me on a Friday evening
In two days time, girl, I'm gonna be leaving
And there's simply nothing more to say, I really wish that I could stay
But I simply can't stay, no I can't stay...

And I know we've never met and I'm frantic
But hey, I'm just trying to be romantic
I got this funny feeling, d'ya fancy drinks tomorrow evening?
Yeah, there's simply nothing more to say
I really wish that I could stay
Perhaps we'll meet again one day
And maybe that's the only way
