you left me standing in the pouring rain
but i don't even know your name
now all i got is memories
i think of how it used to be
your head upon the pillowcase
i still can't quite recall your face
the filter of a cigarette
reminds me of a sweet regret

and only the memory of you keeps my heart still alive, it will survive
and only the memory of you keeps me wondering if i might see you again tonight

let's go out tonight
take me where it's shiny and bright
to somewhere we can do what we like
maybe it'll be alright
i said let's go out tonight
get drunk and maybe get in a fight
maybe one day i'll get a life
[can't work out this line]

i try to call you on the telephone
i get a disconnected tone
i'm sure i wrote it down that night
perhaps i didn't hear you right
now all i got's an empty pain
and just another linen stain
you got my down upon my knees
is this the way it has to be?

and only the memory of you keeps my heart still alive, it will survive
and only the memory of you keeps me wondering if i might see you again tonight

let's go out tonight
take me where it's shiny and bright
to somewhere we can do what we like
maybe it'll be alright
i said let's go out tonight
get drunk and maybe get in a fight
oh come on it'll be outta sight
until then you can give me a [light/life/lie?]
let's go out tonight
loneliness can be so unkind
i think i could be losing my mind
i'm gonna tell it to you one more time
i said let's go out tonight
maybe it'll be alright
everything's gonna be fine
we'll make it just like when you were mine
(mine echoes)
