A lonely silhouette, smoking a cigarette. Hoping for the phone to ring. Though she's sick of the sound of people's mouths. Winding her up and putting her down.
There's a tear in my beer. 'Cause I'm cryin' for you dear. You are on my lonely mind. . Into these last nine beers. I have shed a million tears. You are on my lonely mind.

You're laying on your bed and making shadows on the wall. It's almost too hot to move, outside your window. People are driving home from work for the weekend.
