lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wait alone in the clubbing line
Try to find a familiar mind
Daylight makes it seem condemned
Pass the bouncer, get my stamp
It says: "Marriage is like a prison cell
A television with just one channel."
Check my coat, get a drink and see
Every eye isn't where I want it to be

[Chorus 1]

Though I've tried to hard to fight
I am in your arms tonight
20/20 hindsight
I am in your arms tonight
Loneliness is never cured -- only the lonely understood
Maybe now I should just once, or twice, or even thrice:
Remember that I've made this sacrifice

[Verse 2]

Everyone knows everybody here
They touch and hug, yell into ears
I'm ignored. You've already slept
You've come to terms with what I can't yet accept

[Chorus 2]

Though I've tried to hard to fight
I am in your arms tonight
20/20 hindsight
I am in your arms tonight
Loneliness is never cured -- only the lonely understood
Maybe now I should just once, or twice, or even thrice:
Remember that I've made this sacrifice
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus 3]

Though I've tried to hard to fight
I am in your arms tonight
20/20 hindsight
I am in your arms tonight
Loneliness is never cured -- only the lonely understood
Maybe now I should just listen to my own advice
So unmatched but so alike
And while the city sleeps so tight
Know that I'll be coming home on the night bus

[Tag]

(wait alone in the clubbing line)
Know that I'll be coming home on the night bus
(wait alone in the clubbing line)
Know that I'll be coming home on the night bus
(wait alone in the clubbing line)
Know that I'll be coming home on the night bus
(wait alone in the clubbing line)
Know that I'll be coming home tonight
