Akrasia: Friend Tonight

i recall just sitting there with all of my friends and drinking rum
the alcohol made judges out of liars
and that was when I threw myself into the fire
and said something insufferably dumb
and maybe then you thought of me as something more
but all you would do is laugh and say that


you still won't be the one that i kiss
when they turn out the light
and you shouldn't be the one that
i think about when it's late at night
and you are still are just my friend tonight


i recall the dress you wore the day we went to see chopin
long and black imaginations raced
i would make a subtle move in careful taste
not a kiss but maybe hold your hand
and you would send me frightened looks and i'd pretend
that it was just an accident and


you still won't be the one that i kiss
when they turn out the light
and you shouldn't be the one that
i think about when it's late at night
and you are still are just my friend tonight


surprise,oh, i love you
don't you see it now
it's been so long
since I could tell you how


look around and tell me bout the one that you've been searching for
i'd like to think i know just what you need
and maybe there's still hope in finding something more
but maybe what you really need is me
it's kind of like you're slipping through reality
and all my hints just pass you by and


you still won't be the one that i kiss
when they turn out the light
and you shouldn't be the one that
i think about when it's late at night
and you are still are just my friend tonight


no, you shouldn't be the one that i kiss
when they turn out the light
and you shouldn't be the one that
i think about when it's late at night
and you are still are just my friend tonight
