lyrics

"Alicia, I don't think I can do this anymore." He penned as calmly as he could, then tore the page out from the book cause' there were telltale signs of shaking in his font and he thought that even though she'd be devastated she could see he wasn't stalwart in his decision to leave, especially after the last week of getting just as close as he could and she would probably see he was in some kind of trouble and follow him down, and he couldn't have that right now. God it's so lonely...

"Alicia, I don't think I can do this anymore." She crumpled the note and said, "Hell no, I'm not gonna' let you leave without an explanation face to face." And his place was only thirteen blocks away, she walked to clear her head before the conversation. She knew he was sane, but probably had just gotten far too drunk. Her heart sunk when she opened the door and saw him tied to a chair, and he yelled at her, "Just stay there..."

But oh, the moon is full and you look so damn good in the light. His reflection shined there in her eyes. The changes were all subtle at first but slowly over time she saw what he'd become and began to cry... God it's so lonely...

"Alicia, I don't think this is such a great idea..." They unlocked the car and got out. "No, that's nonsense. What could possibly go wrong? You're not gonna kill anyone..." They said their goodbyes; "I'll see you here tomorrow, good luck and goodnight."

And oh, the moon was full as she looked back through the tail lights. She could just make out his shape on the roadside and then he was gone. She prayed to God that he'd be there at quarter of nine. (To be safe and wait for the sun to rise)

"Alicia..." "Oh thank God." "Are you okay? I'm perfectly fine now. This could work, I think..."
