The Last Lie I Told

I`m in a parking lot by myself It`s quarter to nine and I`ve been here since 5:45 Oh, there`s no one but I can see some flickering lights I can hear some dogs barking in the back yards And I smell gasoline I wish the sky were open `cause if there weren`t those trees I think I could see for miles The city is just beyond those clouds I guess this is what it`s like to be really down And holding out for something Remembering the warm nights Remembering the open arms of two years ago Oh there`s nothing like this parking lot And seeing the stars in morning `Cause I can see them from where I`m lying I can feel the cold pavement against my skin It`s tingling.
