So where are you going to sleep tonight?
Whose floor is it going to be this time?
Do you suppose a call is too much to ask
For a little peace of mind?
So what’s it going to be this time?
The bridge, a train, traffic, or overtime?
I know you got one, so let’s hear it.
I know you can’t wait to tell me why you couldn’t make it.
At home, in bed, staring at the ceiling,
I’m wondering when you’re coming home.
It’s way too late, I’m giving up on you again
My eyes are closed, but my ears tuned to the phone.
So what’s it going to be this time?
The bridge, a train, traffic, or overtime?
I know you got one, so let’s hear it.
I know you can’t wait to tell me why you couldn’t make it.
Let me guess. It’s going to be another hour?
Let me guess. Something ‘just came up’?
I know you got one, so let’s hear it.
I know you can’t wait to tell me way you couldn’t make it
…to tell me why you couldn’t make it.
So what’s it going to be this time?
The bridge, a train, traffic or overtime?
I know you got one, so let’s hear it.
I know you can’t wait to tell me why you couldn’t make it.
So where are you going to sleep tonight?
Whose floor is it going to be this time?
How hard it is to sleep alone at night
Not knowing if everything’s alright.
