Lyrics
Get Lonely
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I will rise up early and dress myself up nice
And i will leave the house and check the deadlock twice
And i will find a crowd and blend in for a minute
And i will try to find a little comfort in it
And i will get lonely and gasp for air
And send your name up from my lips like a signal flare
And i will go downtown, stand in the shadows of the buildings
And button up my coat, trying to stay strong, spirit willing
And i will come back home, maybe call some friends
Maybe paint some pictures
It all depends
And i will get lonely and gasp for air
And look up at the high windows, and see your face up there
