Song Description
A man pretends he sees an old friend and is wondering where his friend is in the sense of her life and achievment. He offers an even- trade relationship in the form of an honest-equal partnership. Pretty deep lyrics pertain more to the big picture of the world, using this "offer" as a sounding board for soul searching.

Lyrics
Last to remember
Are you here tonight or are you missing
it?s been a long, long night
from where I?m sinning
why don?t you come inside
come inside, don?t come down
and if it feels alright after such a long, long time?
Are you in demand or are you slipping
it?s been a long long time
since we?ve seen you tripping
don?t you hurt yourself
looking for love all around you
but if it feels alright after such a long, long time
take what you want from me
I?ll take what I want from you
everyone?s swimming around
can?t see the ocean for the tears
the last to remember
the first to finish before it begins
this is no fooling around
this is to be where it ends
Are you in the fight or are you sitting
it?s been a long, long rite
in a word I?m spinning
did you catch yourself
waiting for love to surround you
well if it feels alright after such a long, long time
(Chorus, verse 1)
