Perhaps the inspiration for the lyrics of this song come from a long night spent talking with a girl called 'Nicky ',who he finds beautiful. They are 'outside' his house under the street lights 'neon lights' her eyes say 'stay with me'.He wants her to stay 'stay with me' but she has to go home. Her friend is locked inside the house she came from 'bad home with some cat inside' .. she has the only key. He delays her leaving each time she tries 'from doorway to doorway' 'street corner to corner'. The sun is starting to come up 'neon ghosts in the city ',partly she feels guilty staying longer,she has to go home to let her friend out. She is also frightened and scared to stay with him because of who he is and the unpredictable nature of what may happen if she stays. The taxi comes and he pulls her close 'stay with me' he says over and over but she must pull herself away.
