It's too dark
Just the passing cars illuminate the room
And it's harder every time I see you
And then when you leave I'm wondering when would be too soon
But you ain't mine to miss
And it's time we put a line down in the dust
I know what friendship is
And it sure doesn't feel like us
[Chorus]
Go home to her, while you still can
It's much too late now for drafting up new plans
And your woman's got an honest man
I always thought, so don't do nothing now to make me take it back
Now I'm sure that you've seen a girl go flushed before
But I don't want to get touched
I don't want to be moved
I don't want to think much
I just want to get through
With my hands in my pockets
While we can, let's just stop already
Have my own problems, I'm not trying to get sainted
I don't need to be good
I'm just trying to stay blameless
[Chorus]
I've seen our better natures 
Flashing like a pair of flipping coins
And I know it's getting late
'Cause I can see exactly what's been running through your mind
And I don't pretend or tease
I like it less than you
It's been a long time lonely, I've got less to lose
But here's a chance to do right
This is the stuff of real life
Let's just let this one slide, say our goodbyes
[Chorus]
...don't do nothing now to make me take it back
