In the passing of the night
With only friendship left to lose
Encouraged by some drunken friends
And eddied by the *****

We talked a while, just you and me
In fading smokey light
Until I could convince myself
The timing had come right

I though that you had shown a sign
The words you said were true
But what I thought the words did mean
Was not what they were to you

The laughter I thought was nervous hope
Was plainly misconcieved
And looking back I see I saw
What I wanted to believe

I took a step and passed all points
That had been passed before
A calamity of awkward words
Shared by the front door

You look surprised and not quite sure
Of what you're supposed to say
But all I wanted was the truth
Not just a part to play

It wasn't the answer I wanted to hear
But I know you're not to blame
I'm only happy I know where we stand
Alhough we don't feel the same

And though I don't regret the action
The method wasn't right
So I hope you don't hold against me
What passed the other night
