The sun had found a place to hide behind the maple trees
I came home with shadows on my shoes
I walked on through the door, turned on the same old dusty lamp,
And realized that I've been hiding too
Loving you is lonely work
I could use a friend
I could use some company tonight
Why don't you come over, we can lie down by the fire
You can bring your books and things to read till you get tired
We don't have to talk too much, or even say hello, as long as I don't have to love you alone
The room was full of strangers I'll never see again
Temporary friends with lavish lives and empty eyes
I thought I heard you laughing, for a moment it was true
I looked around to find that I've been hiding, too
Loving you is lonely work
I could use a friend
I could use some company tonight
Why don't you come over, we can lie down by the fire
You can bring your books and things to read till you get tired
We don't have to talk too much, or even say hello
As long as I don't have to love you alone
Seven years of broken, wasted time
Are we ready?
Are we ready now?
Let's stop pretending that we're fine
Are we ready?
Say we're ready
Tell me you'll come over, we can lie down by the fire
You can bring your books and things to read till you get tired
We don't have to talk too much, or even say hello,
As long as I don't have to love you alone
I don't wanna love you alone.
