Steadier Footing

It's gotten late and now I want to be alone All of our friends were here, they all have gone home And here I sit on the front porch Watching the drunks stumble forth into the night You gave me a heart attack, I did not see you there I thought you had disappeared so early away from here And this is the chance I never got To make a move, but we just talk about The people we've met in the last five years And will we remember them in ten more I let you bum a smoke, you quit this winter past I've tried twice before but like this, it just would not last
