lyrics
Sit in the corner of this darkened room
Sweetheart please tell me you’ll meet me here soon
I’m peeling the paint, I’m carving the wood
This makes me a vandal and that can’t be good
If you don’t come by, if you leave me be
This flame will continue to burn into me
Maybe you can’t put this thing out
Your love is a flood but mine is a drought
In this heart of empty pockets
You’d be the change
You’d be the price of a life rearranged
In this heart of empty pockets
You’d fill them up
But the only thing that’s full tonight
Is yet another cup
I’d be pacing the boards, I’d be drinking my fill
But I am just trying to sit very still
So I look up, I’m watching the door
I’m watching the clock and I’m waiting some more
In this heart of empty pockets
You’d be the change
You’d be the price of a life rearranged
In this heart of empty pockets
You’d fill them up
But the only thing that’s full tonight
Is yet another cup
Time it ticks by, hope turns to doubt
You’re not coming to see me, it’s clear she’s found out
I’m holding my own at this bar tonight
But I’ll save you a seat… for the rest of my life
In this heart of empty pockets
You’d be the change
You’d be the price of a life rearranged
In this heart of empty pockets
You’d fill them up
But the only thing that’s full tonight
The only thing that’s full tonight
The only thing that’s full tonight
Is yet another cup
