Artist: Ellis Paul

Lyrics

You said, "don't wait up, don't count the minutes."
So here I am watching paint fade from the walls
On the tv, planes are dancing to the national anthem
So the whole world knows it's long past last call

I sat through tarzan swinging through the jungle
And godzilla crushing buildings and all
The light from this tv can make it all look so easy
It makes this room feel incredibly small

Last call, last call
Now I've heard it all
The excuses get weaker as the stories get tall
You step off with the wrong foot, the drunk fool at the ball
Well, I'm not up for dancing
I'm up past last call

Clock keeps on talkin'
It says, "fool go to bed --
Why waste the words, they've already been said."
But I can't shut my eyes with this face in my head
So tonight I plan on clearing my mind

I could lay my head in the arms of the sofa
And wait for headlights to roll across these walls
But when your key finds the door, your feet find the floor
They'll be greeted by empty rooms and empty halls
