WATERDEEP

WATERDEEP - ON A NIGHT THAT FELT OUTDATED lyrics

rate me

Well, this night just feels outdated

It's a tired reminder of the bad

whe you held on to what you hated

and you hated what you had

And your mind was out on the corner

sellin' herself as something cheap

Your pride he says he owns her

and she's dumb, she follows like a sheep

She don't know what he does to a lover

He'll whisper lies in a restless ear

He tells a wife she don't deserve to hover

over a man who doesn't seem to hear

Some things are easy to forget, even if they're bigger than the now

And she has tried to remember them but she can't remember how

So she lies on her bed staring up at the cracks in the ceiling

She's even pinched herself to wake up, but her body's got no feeling

Well he calls her out on the driveway

He's pullin' her by her hips

He says you ought to come by my way

and he kisses her on the lips

His mouth feels cold to her heart

unlike her man who's still asleep in their bed

But she numbs herself to that part

And she leans to what she calls her head

And though her face had turned away for a moment

and her eyes had flashed a bit with doubt

She felt the tug of a brilliant showman

And she was on her way out

It wasn't long before she was out sellin' on the corner like something cheap

on a night that could feel like hell in the reminders that it made you keep

Like the one where you were standin' on the driveway

there was a cold feeling on your lips

Some woman's saying to ya come my way

and she's pullin' you by your hips

But the prodigal did not stay way

There was a destiny he had to keep

And I may give my mind a dirty day

But tonight I got floors to sweep

Some things are easy to forget, even if they're bigger than the now

And you have tried to remember them but you can't remember how

So you lie on your bed staring at the cracks in the ceiling

You've even pinched yourself to wake up, but your body's got no feeling.
