Song Lyrics

You left me standing in the pouring rain
But I don't even know your name
Now all I've got is memories
I think of how it used to be
Your head upon my pillow case
I still can't quite recall your face
The filter of a cigarette reminds me of a sweet regret

And only the memory of you keeps my heart still alive it will survive
And only the memory of you keeps me wondering if I might see you again tonight

Let's go out tonight
Take me where it's shiny and bright
Somewhere we can do what we like
Baby it'll be alright

I said let's go out tonight
Get drunk and maybe get in a fight
Maybe one day I'll get a life
You never know what you're gonna find

I try to call you on the telephone
I get a disconnected tone
I'm sure I wrote it down that night
Perhaps I didn't hear you right
Now all I've got's an empty pain
And just another linen stain
You got me down upon my knees
Is this the way it has to be?

And only the memory of you keeps my heart still alive it will survive
And only the memory of you keeps me wondering if I might see you again tonight

Let's go out tonight
Take me where it's shiny and bright
Somewhere we can do what we like
Baby it'll be alright

I said let's go out tonight
Get drunk and maybe get in a fight
Come on it'll be outta sight
Until then you can give me a light...

Let's go out tonight
Unloneliness can be so kind
I think I could be losing my mind
And then I tell it to you one more time

I said let's go out tonight
And baby it'll be alright
And everything's going to be fine
I'll make it just like when you were high...
