Going out isn’t very fun
Whether cool nights or drinking orange sun
I know
She wants me to
Take her out and act like I’ve got a clue
Just what to do
I don’t care for endless night mixers
Staying late and hearing speeches slur
You’d expect
A guy like me
Liking this but contrary to your belief
This causes me great grief
What do you got to lose
Playing with those blues?
Who do you think will stay and who will go?
But does that show
Who they really are?
By myself, I bathe in all the light
Little lanterns come out in the night
But she tries
To bring me down
Take me out and drag me across all the town
To show me around
Cloudy skies bring me up to my feet
City sleeps while I conduct my beat
Then she calls
Me up again
As I pretend to have something else better to do
If only she knew
What do you got to lose
Playing with those blues?
Who do you think will stay and who will go?
But does that show
Who they really are?
I don’t want to pick up my phone
I just want to be left alone
I don’t think she even has a clue
Every day I wake up to her
Every night I feel like a blur
I just want to fly far away
She knows that my love is still there
But deep down I’m feeling despair
I can’t put my thoughts into words
Lightning cracks and thunder rumbles
Can’t relax as I start to tumble
Down into the spiral of my mind
Oh I just want to play
My Rhodes
