"Steadier Footing" lyrics - DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

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 will not last.
