at five past midnight under a flickering "open" sign that went out just as soon as i walked through the door in the diner in late july i found the meaning of life and what every patron and waitress that night was waiting for i sat alone in a back booth stumbled over some half truths about how i was expecting someone, and i'd be needing the extra room the waitress was listless working overtime and double shifts and staring longingly at the door the tragic parody of adult life was playing out in front of me that night like a dream where you wanna run, but your legs have all but died and i could've sat with some old friends near the front the uninvited guests in the town we're from and shared the lives we lived with the strangers we've become or i could've sat on a barstool and had a drink to forget the things i had to do that week Songtexteall the hearts i'd have to break, and all the homes i'd have to leave or i could've called over the waitress who came undone confessed that i'm not waiting for anyone and if you'd like, i think you oughta sit with me when you're done but the door had just finished swinging shut and the manager was spitting and cursing her luck the waitress was already gone.
