I don’t know why you’re on my mind tonight, but you are. I’ve been ok for weeks and now I can’t sleep because of you. It’s not fair. We have conversations and I’m left contemplating for days. There’s a place in town where I can pour it out, after pouring it in, until it’s daylight again. I’m going to sit in the back until they call for the last and then I’ll leave (but I won’t sleep). We have chance meetings. I feel like I’m bleeding out for days. All Night Daylight.

Well, we could stay up all night talking, That’s the contact I have been craving. A meaningful conversation, something a little less draining. When I stay out past midnight, I wake up dehydrated; Mouth feels like a dustpan, face feels like an ashtray. I wish that this New Year’s Eve was as happy as last year. We tried to go out, but we ended up back here. It’s been a while since we went out dancing, since we got talking, since we were strangers. I need a shave and I need to get a haircut. I’ve got a two-piece suit, but you know it isn’t tailored. I need my shoes shined, shirt ironed, I need some time to get myself together. I need a train ticket in my pocket, then I’ll travel across the country and go see you again. I wish that this New Year’s Eve was as happy as last year. We tried to go out, but we ended up back here. It’s been a while since we went out dancing, since we got talking, since we were strangers. But sometimes strange things happen.
