Song Lyrics

Return to the city, lookin' for a friend
She shouldn't be too hard to find
There's only one or two places she could be
Especially this time of night
I didn't tell her I'm in town or I'd be coming 'round
I'm steppin' into her work
She greets me casually, yeah; hands me a drink
I wait till six in the morning for her
She says it's alright
That ya haven't written or been here for a while
(I've been here for a while)
Just grab your things and come on over
Stay with me at my house (Stay with me)
She says it's alright, yeah
It's half past four, the afternoon
Oh, we wake up
There's no phones to disturb us
Lazing around, isolated from all of the fuss
She smokes a couple hundred cigarettes and hands me the keys
Oh, while she gets ready for work
Be back at seven in the morning to let her in
That's about when she returns
She says it's alright
That you don't speak the language
I know that you barely try
(I know you barely try)
I love The Smiths and my cigarettes
Like you in my bed
But I don't need you to get by (Don't need you)
She says it's alright, yeah
I'm sure you wanted to forget about things for a while
As I see how you see
How we see
Let me see
She says it's alright
That you're going to the states and ya won't be back for awhile
(I won't be back for a while)
She says it's alright with you
It's alright without you
Either way is just fine (Either way you're not mine)
She says it's alright (It's alright, alright)
I don't expect to hear from you, but you're welcome back anytime
Unless I find a new friend, then this will have to end (It's alright)
We don't need no goodbyes
She says it's alright
She says alright
It's alright
