We were only supposed to go out for the night But it's been a few hours now since it got light We're a mess, and the worst part is we couldn't care less There's water in the ashtray and ash in the sink The carpet's mostly soaking, but there's nothing to drink We're a state, and we're starting to regret staying awake And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed But then I never was the clever one We were only supposed to go out for the night I did my best to go home but in the end I lost the fight with myself To be honest I was hoping I'd go home with someone else And right about now I should be starting my day But instead I am sat here downing the dregs of yesterday All the while trying to prop up both ends of my smile And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid
I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed But then I never was the clever one But always the one to not see that I'm done and I need to go home and get to sleep Always the last to see the moment has pa**ed and I need to admit my defeat And I'm lonely - there, I said it I'm lonely, but it's hard to admit it When everybody thinks that you're fine all the time and you're not So we were only supposed to go out for the night But who am I kidding? Try as I might I can't stop Until I've squeezed out every last drop And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid But I don't have a penny to my name I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid But I haven't had a shower for days I should've gone home when I could but I stayed And so I stay up alone And set off on my own To the station where I catch the first train
