Temporary Place
Ten p.m. and I’m restless again
Can’t comprehend why this madness doesn’t end
I need a lover, think I might need a friend
To hold my hand, then we both can pretend
So here’s the truth I’m gonna say it loud
I need a temporary solution
For a temporary problem
Just a temporary place
Don’t need loving resolutions
No more romantic delusions
Just someone I can embrace
Hold me close try not to figure my brain
There’s too much there you might go insane
Forgive me Lord “coz my mind’s in a daze
There are memories there that I just can’t erase
So here’s the truth I’m gonna say it again
I need a temporary solution
For a temporary problem
Just a temporary place
Don’t need loving resolutions
No more romantic delusions
Just someone I can embrace
