Friday night's man

What I would give to be the diamond in your eyes again.
What I would give to bring those old days back again.
What did I do or say to make you change this way?
Maybe I'll just go away.

Forget about life, forget the hurt, forget the rejection.
You have only right now.
Stroll right in.
Gaze around, you don't know a face, but you recognize why they're all here.
See if you can find your place in here.
Let the bright lights and the pounding beats and the noise intoxicate your soul.
Your world can be erased, just a $5 cover charge.

You see the smiles on everyone else's face.
You try to force one, but it feels so fake
You see her, a distance away, yet she seems mere steps away from your lonely chair.

A connection just seems so far away tonight.
You just don't want to feel alone.
So you'll use her for a little while.
Imagine her smile is really for you
And that it's not there just because it's the nice thing to

Pretty soon you're both dying to escape.
Escape alone, admit this wasn't what you'd been looking for.
Then again, what did you really yearn for in this place tonight?

You head to the door.
Nobody would dare step in your path.
But please come back next week.
And bring back your false hope.
Just letting yourself get fooled once again.
