Lyrics

We were only supposed to go out for the night
But it's been a few hours now since it got light -
We're a mess, and the worst part is we couldn't care less
There's water in the ash-tray and ash in the sink
The carpet's mostly soaking, but there's nothing to drink -
We're a state, and we're starting to regret staying awake

And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid
I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid
I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed
But then I never was the clever one

We were only supposed to go out for the night
I did my best to go home but in the end I lost the fight with myself -
To be honest I was hoping I'd go home with someone else
And right about now I should be starting my day
But instead I am sat here downing the dregs of yesterday
All the while trying to prop up both ends of my smile

And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid
I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid
I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed
But then I never was the clever one
But always the one to not see that I'm done and
I need to go home and get to sleep
Always the last to see the moment has passed and
I need to admit my defeat
And I'm lonely - there, I said it
I'm lonely, but it's hard to admit it
When everbody thinks that you're fine all the time and you're not

So we were only supposed to go out for the night..
But who am I kidding? try as I might I can't stop
Until I've squeezed out every last drop

And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid
But I don't have a penny to my name
I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid
But I haven't had a shower for days
I should've gone home when I could but I stayed
And so I stay up alone
And set off on my own
To the station where I catch the first train
