I want to see the things you see
I want to breathe the breath you breathe
I want to give the best of me
I want to tell you everything
I want to be your fantasy
I want to feel completely free
I want to hear that perfect sound
But all I've ever known is how

To be lonely
To be lonely
To be lonely
To be lonely

I want to be a friend of mine
I want to have some peace of mind
I want to live in the present
I want to know the difference
Between possession and true love
Heav'n on earth and heav'n above
I want to be part of the crowd
But all I've ever known is how

To be lonely
To be lonely
To be lonely
To be lonely

Any way you walk I'll try and walk in that way too
If I can't do it gonna fake my way on through
Sipping a corona in a stiff right hand
Making up the steps 'til I get the dance
C'mon babe just show me how to do it

Cause I want to be a gorgeous thing
A thing no one has ever seen
I want to buzz with energy
I want to scream a primal scream
I want to know what's on your mind
Be there for you day or night
Tear my walls down to the ground
But all I've ever known is how

To be lonely
To be lonely
To be lonely
To be lonely

I don't know if I'm getting somewhere
I don't know but I think I'll try
I don't know if I'm getting somewhere
I don't know but I think I'll try
I don't know if I'm getting somewhere
I don't know but I guess I'll try
I don't know if I'm getting somewhere
I don't know but I guess I'll try
