Loneliness Came

Loneliness came through a crack in the window

Where the brick meets the sill by its own force of will

Then it entered my lungs like a smoke on a Friday

And by noon, I was higher than I'd ever been

I'm surrounded by faces

But I never know their names

So I just lie in my room fever-dreaming of you

Till it gets better one of these days

Loneliness came like a train on a Sunday

I was told it would come, but I was shocked when it arrived

Then it carried me off to this island I live on

Full of daytime TV and not a whole lot of life

I'm surrounded by faces

But I never wanna play

So I just lie in my room fever-dreaming of you

Till it gets better one of these days

Loneliness came like a cold in the winter

Just a tickle at first, then a punch to the face

Then it swallowed me up so that I became a part of it

And I learned there was something I might as well embrace

Oh, I'm surrounded by faces

But I never know their names

So I just lie in my room fever-dreaming of you

Till it gets better one of these days

Till it gets better one of these days
