About the ones who never call
About the call you never make
About the makes you always spoke of
No that's just a joke

About the tape you never sent
About the scent you never wore
About the war you never fought
And how I got caught

This is the one about loneliness
Can I take it home and play it back to all my friends?
And we'll listen and think
And hold our lovers and drinks in our hands

About the records they all played
About the plays they never watched
About the watches they all wore
How I never saw

About the breaking of the heart
About the heart that made the stars
About the stars they chased and chased
Where I still go

This is the one about loneliness
Can I take it home and play it back to all my friends?
And we'll listen and think
And hold our lovers and drinks in our hands

I love the one about loneliness
Can I take it home and play it back to all my friends?
And we'll listen and think
And hold our lovers and drinks
Don't you know what only time brings
Cause we're getting old
