Call It A Night

I just wanted to relax
I just wanted to have a nice night in

Some time to myself
Freedom from the world
A farewell to responsibilities
To lose my ambitions somewhere in the couch cushions

Work was a long day
Each hour weighed down my will power more and more
I needed something to change
Maybe the boss would give me the weekends off
Maybe it would get better if I tried to be positive
Maybe I'd get promoted to a better position
Or maybe I just needed a new job
But, I was home

I walk inside to be met by Mike
You have the night off, too?
Do I want to do a shot of tequila?
I don't know
Alright, alright. F**k it. Lets do one to celebrate
Down the hatch
Let's make it another
That one wasn't as bad as the first one
Just one more
Well, we might as well finish the bottle off
God, that burns
I think I did four too many
You got me feeling it, my friend
Have a good night

I go on the porch for a cigarette
When pure beauty walks out of the apartment building's front door
My passion for her is brighter than the flame of my bic lighter
Hey, Johanna.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What do you mean don't talk to you?
No, I don't know what I did
No, I don't. Just tell me
Are you kidding me?!
I never said that to her
You're just gonna walk away?
Johanna. JOHANNA!!
Pure beauty just walked away
That woman's impossible

Jerry walks onto the porch with a joint to his lips
Hey, man
You heard all of that, huh?
No, I don't know what she's talking about
It's been one of those nights
Sure, I'll have a few hits
Damn, this s**t is good
That last one set my lungs on fire
It feels nice, though
I didn't do much tonight
I worked, had some shots with Mike, pissed of the future ex-wife
And now my head feels like it's drifting into the clouds
F**k, I'm baked
I need to sit down or something
I'm gonna head inside

My balance lost itself
My ceiling wouldn't hold still
My bed kept spinning
My poor decisions were everywhere

Where oh where did my night go?
The couch seemed so lonely
My freedom was shackled by inebriation
I gave my time to everyone else

All I wanted was to relax
All I got was a nice night in
