meet me in the lobby
we can walk to dinner together
order me a cocktail
and talk about the old times forever

maybe this is something
or maybe this is nothing
maybe this is all I get to know

it can come, it can go
and you just never know
it can come, it can go
and you just have to stand there going numb

waitin' for the phone call
watch me sweat it out till tomorrow
waitin' for the axe to fall
I gotta give back the life that I borrowed


maybe they'll believe me
maybe they'll relieve me
maybe if I'm lucky, they won't show

it can come, it can go
and you just never know
it can go, it can come
and you just have to stand there going numb

maybe this is something
but what if this is everything?
what if this is all I get to know?

it can come, it can go
and you just never know
it can go, it can come
and you just have to stand there looking dumb
