Another night, I dress in gray,
The city’s calling me away.
The streets are cold, the lights are loud,
I walk alone into the crowd.

My bones are heavy, my eyes are sore,
I’ve done this dance so many times before.
The night begins, but deep inside
There’s somewhere else I’d rather hide.

I’m so tired of going out,
Of loud rooms I don’t belong.
All this laughter, all this shout,
Feels like a thousand times the same song.

I’d rather lie beside my wife,
Far from the noise, far from this life.
Her steady breath, the soft lamp glow,
The kind of peace I used to know.

I wish I had a wife tonight,
Someone to hold me tight.
Instead of smoke and drunken eyes,
And hollow laughs and wasted nights.

No crowded bars, no bitter air,
No strangers talking everywhere.
Just quiet walls and dim warm light,
And her beside me through the night.

Yes, I’m tired, but I still go out,
I won’t let fear become my doubt.
I won’t stay home and fade away,
I’ll face the night, I’ll make my way.

I’m searching in these crowded rooms,
Through neon lights and heavy fumes.
I fight the dark, I push along,
To find the one who feels like home.

I’m so tired of going out,
Of loud rooms I don’t belong.
All this laughter, all this shout,
Feels like a thousand times the same song.

I’d rather lie beside my wife,
Far from the noise, far from this life.
Her steady breath, the soft lamp glow,
The kind of peace I long to know.
