Friday Night

[Verse 1]

Well, I've been dreaming of Proust all in my bed

And he speaks to me in my sleep

And he takes me to the other side

With his madeleines and friends

But when the sea comes in it's hard to believe

It'll ever go out again

And though I'll never get too close

I still hold you now and then

[Chorus]

On a Friday night

On a Friday night

[Verse 2]

And there's a stillness left after you leave

It'll speak of what has been

And I'm laying in the dark awake

And I'm listening to thе rain

And my sorrow makes the city shine

Wе never had to feel that pain

But now these tears are prayers of empathy

And they wash me clean again

[Chorus]

On a Friday night

On a Friday night

[Bridge]

Forgot that we had bones

Forgot that we could feel

Forgot that we'd wake up

And it'd all be real

It'd still be real

[Verse 3]

We'd been waiting for the light to change

We'd been waiting on a friend

And the only choice that was left to us

Was to bleed or rust in the rain

Now the measure of your absence

Is the presence that you leave

And, darling, that's where we put all the love

That we still have to give

[Chorus]

On a Friday night

On a Friday night

On a Friday night

On a Friday night

[Outro]

Forgot that I had bones

Forgot that I could feel

Forgot that we'd wake up

And it'd still be real

It'd still be real
