I'm a raw nerve in the sunlight
After two weeks in the dark
If you've gotta tell me you're not using
It's probably 'cause you are
I saw you there
Just a block off to see your rowhome
On an empty street where the others have been torn down
And you're the last one standing
It must get lonely
It must get lonely
When the grace starts to swallow grey
Where the sky meets the Irish sea
Like a suit that's been to too many funerals and starts fraying at the seems
I saw a bag of Clementines split right open on an English street
And the contrast made me feel so goddamn dizzy
I saw you there
Just a block off to see your rowhome
On an empty street where the others have been torn down
And you're the last one standing
It must get obvious enough that I'm not ever gonna change
It must get obvious enough that I'm the one who stays
But it must get lonely
It must get lonely
But it must get lonely
But it must get lonely
I'm a specter in the dim light on the flowers by the grave
In the Montmartre in Paris where the crows seem to know my name
And they left footprints in the snow along the fence on Palmer Street
Cigarette butts on the headstones that you left for me
And I saw you there
Just a block off to see your rowhome
On an empty street where the others have been torn down
And you're the last one standing
It must get obvious enough that I'm not ever gonna change
It must get obvious enough that I'm the one who stays
It must get obvious enough that I'm not ever gonna change
It must get obvious enough, that you're the one who stays
But it must get lonely
It must get lonely
(It must get lonely)
It must get lonely
(It must get lonely)
It must get lonely
(It must get lonely)
It must get lonely
It must get lonely
