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...
