They say that all the worst things happen after midnight
Well what a shame that that’s where I'm spending most of my time
And what a shame that I need you instead of just want you
What a shame I need everything that I haven’t got
You give me all that you can but it’s not quite enough
Of all the things that I have satisfaction’s not one
And I wish I could say that I'm trying to get better
But you know that isn’t true

And every time you set the table
I flip it over
And if you’re willing and you’re able
Let’s start it over
And then one of these nights we can sit down and eat
I’ll pour your glass of wine if that’s your cup of tea
And make a house on fire feel a little more like a home

People forget what they put you through
I took a walk across your town and I knew
Sticks and stones only break you down a little
And I’ll admit I haven’t been the best
When it comes down to being your friend
I'm just hoping you’ll meet me in the middle

(And every time you set)
(And every time, and every time, and every time)
And every time you set the table I flip it over
(And every time, and every time, and every time)
And if you’re willing and you’re able let’s start it over

(One of these nights we can sit down and eat)
(Pour your glass of wine if that’s your cup of tea)
And every time you set the table I flip it over
(And every time, and every time, and every time)
And if you’re willing and you’re able let’s start it over
