A friend of mine calls
In the stormy night
She cries on the phone
Says she wants a lover
She's afraid of being on the run
She says she can't be on her own
She needs someone to hold her close
I can't let her go
She lets me be her only recluse
Soon she will have to choose
It will tear us apart from inside
We'll share hearts that have died
We will be singles on this night
I know she's scared and doesn't trust
I know she thinks that I can change
But, I can't change the way I feel
I see just the two of us
It's tense, I tell myself quickly
I'll tell you, no matter how you tell it
There's no way to run from the truth
She knows it too
We're like two parallel lines
Never bound to meet
Except when we look back in time
They seem to fall into line
We will both be singles on this night
