Wednesday Night
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wednesday night, sitting on the couch
It'll be alright by the firelight tonight
All alone, just the two of us
Now it's getting rare - I am always out somewhere
And I never see you
I'm out of touch with my best friend
Too much time we have to spend
Out of sight

When you're there all by yourself
Do you understand or do you want someone else?
I'm up here with the lights on me
It's you I see in the spotlight that blinds me
And I wanna see you
I wanna be with my best friend




It's not a life I'd recommend
Out of sight
