I count the flowers on the wallpaper
While you count the times I count the place over
And you keep glancing at your phone and out at the long driveway
Be like me, I gave that up hours ago, anyway

It’s three in the morning, who are you calling now?
Baby it’s cold outside, where are you going now?
These second chances you’re not gonna take
For all the same mistakes you’ve already made
Here our ghosts will have to wait at the front door now
A stranger’s company is better than none around
Come morning it will look better than it was
But at three a.m. from you all that I want is a

Nice kiss
An echo of affection
Oh, a nice kiss
Like those you used to give the girls who left ya
A nice kiss
An anchor point of pretension
Oh, a nice kiss
Something that won’t kill you when it leaves ya

If you’re quiet, you can just listen
The air within these walls never stops buzzing
Oh honey don’t you worry ‘bout the drive back to your usual place
No one’s gonna call you back, you left them when you went away

Pre-chorus:
After-school dreams and these five-o’clock schemes they all
Grew up to be so much harder than they seemed but oh
Later we’ll give them all another try
But at three in the morning, oh darling I want a

Nice kiss
An echo of affection
Oh, a nice kiss
Like those you used to give the girls who left ya
A nice kiss
An anchor point of pretension
Oh, a nice kiss
Something that won’t kill you when it leaves ya

It won’t kill you when I leave ya
It won’t kill you what I do
In the morning we’ll part the corner and
We find someone new
