lyrics

I’ve been lonely for so long it’s hard to let it go
And I don’t know, if I still know how to fall in love
I play tricks in my own mind like saying two plus two is five
By saying just cause I’m lonely I’m not alone

And I’m breaking like waves do over the rocky shore
And no matter how much trust I give it hasn’t brought me more.

At bus stops, in bookstores, or walking in the woods
it just feels good to live inside my mind.
Surrounded by strangers where no one my name
I am unashamed of the solitude I find.

And when I go dancing, I move like no one can see.
The wall paper is made of eyes, but probably no one’s watching me

oh pull me away; raise up the shades on a rainy day
I made light bulbs from my heartache with an obsolescent glow

And sometimes I will run out in my sundress though the rain
And I’ll smile for my audience of one.

I lift my face up slow to look at the stars tell me I’m small.
They shimmer like sweat does, like dew as they clearly call
Alone is the meaning they say, the meaning of it all
And in the briefest of moments before my ego recalls
I understand how lonely is not a fatal fall
