I settle down for the night
You crave my time on the phone
But you don't know
If you'll stay or if you'll go
Out from my life
But it's all I know
Is it all I'll ever know?
What a lonely night
In a lonely everglow
Underneath floodlights
For your sake, I'm gonna offer love
I'll offer love

We don't have forever
Will you come on over?
Through the sunlight we'll go
But the rest I don't know
It was so real
In the autumn weather
I felt like a ghost
When I walked through the door
And that's all I wrote

I thought I'd get out alive
I crave a life I won't know
The river flows
Past the bend is where I'd go
Back to the tide
Because it's all I know
Is this all I'll ever know?
What a lonely night
In a lonely everglow
Underneath floodlights
If I stay, are you gonna offer love?

We don't have forever
Will you come on over?
Through the sunlight we'll go
But the rest I don't know
It was so real
In the autumn weather
I felt like a ghost
When I walked through the door
And that's all I wrote
