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 5 years.
And will 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 will not last.

What a wonderful way to open the album. Even though it feels (for obvious reasons) more like a closing song.
It just makes you feel good, you know?
