Lyrics

This, uh, this one's called Empty Corridors
Oh, she's got a little house in town
I sometimes go around there to see her
She'll let me deep inside
I sing her love songs
But she'll turn a blind eye, 'cause
She ain't the sentimental type
I keep my heart in my pocket and I hold
I hold it tight
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm
Absent through it all
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I, I, I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm
Absent through it all
Not through it all
Oh, oh, oh, oh, through it all
(Oh-oh)
I want to go through it all
Hey
Her skin is softer than the bluest eyes
Mm, gives me the warmth that I need
Gives me a place to hide from the street lights
Burning through the bedroom window
Oh, in the shadows
There's loneliness we cling to
When the morning comes
We'll go, we'll go our separate ways here
This ain't no magic, my dear
Ain't no reason to stay
Hey
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm
Absent through it all
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I, I, I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm
Absent through it all
Not through it all
Oh, oh, oh, oh, through it all
(Oh-oh)
Not through it all, not through it all
Mm-hmm
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in useless metaphors
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, we fall through empty corridors
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And we talk in useless metaphors
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Yeah, we fall through empty corridors
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And we talk in useless metaphors
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, we fall through empty corridors
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And we talk in useless metaphors
Only 'cause we're lonely
Only 'cause we're lonely
Only 'cause we're lonely
Only 'cause we're lonely
My, my, lonely
My lonely
Only 'cause we're lonely
No, no, my, my
Only 'cause you're lonely
Lonely here
My, my, my lonely, lonely here
Mm-mm-hmm, yeah
Thank you
