Loneliness feels even lonelier when

All the lonely have become your friends

Frayed by years, no more will to pretend

Our eyes met, and now I'm yours till the end

No more need to pretend, I am yours till the end

Now there is no before, there's only after

I was running on empty, now I want to go faster

And faster, and faster

I fell off the merry-go-round

Inside out and upside down

Birds are singing with a peculiar sound

Wide awake, barely touching ground

Barely touching ground, feeling upside down

Now there is no before, there's only after

I was running on empty, now I want to go faster

And faster, and faster

I didn't see in the cards I might be dealt a better hand

When I heard your music, all I wanted was to join the band

It was written in the stars, but I could never see that far

Now there is no before, there's only after

I was running on empty, now I want to go faster

Now there is no before, there's only after

I was running on empty, now I want to go faster

And faster, and faster

I fell off the merry-go-round

Wide awake, barely touching ground
