[Verse 1]
Never found out why you left him
But this answer begs a question
Too blind to see tomorrow
Too broke to beg or borrow
Young and stupid (left wide open)
Hearts are wasted (lives are broken)

[Verse 2]
One more point of contention
I need some intervention
Approaching failing tensions
Betray my short attention
Span the distance (bridge the border)
Beg forgiveness ('round the corner)

[Chorus]
Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out please shut the door

[Verse 3]
More time apart will give you
A few more months to argue
Is this too much to live through
It always seems too far to drive
The point home (send more letters)
Pray tomorrow (ends up better)

[Chorus]
Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out, please shut the door

[Bridge]
I never did do anything that she asked
I never let what happened stay in the past
I never did quite understand what she meant
In spite of everything, in spite of everything
[Chorus]
Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out, please shut the door

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out, please shut the door
