Just A Friend For The Night
Secret Service Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I close my eyes
I can still recall at night
I just close my eyes and turn –

Turning out the light
Darkness brings you back in sight

Why did you have to go?
Woke memories of the night
Sure I feed a dream that won't come true

Things all lovers do can make me
Just a friend for the night
Till darkness turns into light
How can I hide my tears when I cry?

When I close my eyes
I hear you voice call my name
I just close my eyes and try –

Try to hear again
Deep inside words remain

Now when you are gone
Three words have left my life
I only use ‘em when I write a song

Words all lovers use can make me
Just a friend for the night




Till darkness turns into night
How can I hide my tears when I cry.

Line by Line Meaning

When I close my eyes
In moments of solitude and reflection


I can still recall at night
Memories of past love resurface in my mind


I just close my eyes and turn –
I try to forget and move on


Turning out the light
To avoid facing reality


Darkness brings you back in sight
But the darkness brings back memories of you


Why did you have to go?
Questioning why the relationship ended


Woke memories of the night
Recalling moments spent together


Sure I feed a dream that won't come true
Holding onto hope for a doomed future


Things all lovers do can make me
Reminded of what we had


Just a friend for the night
But only in my dreams


Till darkness turns into light
Until the pain of losing you fades


How can I hide my tears when I cry?
Trying to hide the emotional pain of heartbreak


I hear you voice call my name
An auditory hallucination of past love


I just close my eyes and try –
Attempting to recreate that moment


Try to hear again
Hoping to relive that feeling


Deep inside words remain
But reality sets in, and the feeling fades


Now when you are gone
It's clear that the relationship is over


Three words have left my life
Saying "I love you" is no longer part of my life


I only use ‘em when I write a song
But the memories and the pain linger on


Words all lovers use can make me
Love songs and romantic messages hit close to home


Just a friend for the night
Being alone with my thoughts, and you


Till darkness turns into night
Until the cycle of heartache starts again


How can I hide my tears when I cry.
The pain is too intense to keep hidden for long
