I know you’ve arrived, I saw your headlights in the drive.I know it’s cold out, c’mon inside it’s warm and dry.

I know that look babe, you’re upset with what I had to say. I never meant for it to sound that way.

It’s not my business what you did before I was there. I’ve got enough love to pretend that I don’t care. Let’s keep it up babe, so you prefer a little mystery. I never was too good with history.

And I have no more questions. And I have nothing left to hear. And I have no more need to measure. I just need you near.

I’ll pour the rum and let the cards fall where they may. I don’t mind your laughter, it’s pretty funny when I act that way.

I’ll have just one more, and we can wash away all our cares.
We’ll hit the lights and head on upstairs.

And I have no more questions. And I have nothing left to hear. And I have no more need to measure. I just need you near.

Come inside…shut the door.
Leave what you brought here on the floor Turn the clock to face the wall
Our silhouettes will rise and fall

And I have no more questions. And I have nothing left to hear. And I have no more need to measure.
I just need you near.
