Lonely In Columbus - Stephen Kellogg And The Sixers, Serena Ryder

Last night, I got lonely in Columbus

Called you for the third time in a day

You said you were feeling better but I still felt so depressed

Cause it doesn’t change the fact that I’m 800 miles away

It doesn’t change the fact that I’m away

Parking in a lot outside the city

Cost me 30 bucks just to be there

You’d think, for all that money, there would be another car

But I looked around and there was no one there, no one there

The streetlights and the moon looked so magnificently bare

And I’m glad for a, a friend like you

And if you call me, then you know I’m always gonna pick up

It’s such a lame excuse to say I’m tired

Everyone is tired, more or less

If you want to see a person come alive, it’s not that hard

To ask the secret of their great success

A feeble mind in empty indecision

Keep in mind the thoughtless points of view

Everyone’s a loser when you isolate the kill

Til you realize they’ve isolated you, yeah, you

You realize that they’ve isolated you

And I’m glad for a, a friend like you

And if you call me up, you know I’m always gonna pick up

There’s no point in seeking out your pity

Making way for tears is such a joke

Cause everyone has days when they feel sh-tty, oh yeah

Somedays, I wish I never even spoke

Somedays, I wish I didn’t have tongue

But I think I’ll take some pills to help me sleep here

From what I hear, the crime is out of hand

And I’m not sure I’ll be better off in dreams, oh no

A sitting duck just waiting for the bad, bad man

How do they get away with their bad, bad plans?

Why are the cops so focused on the speed

When somewhere, there’s a child who is bleeding?

A dog that eats a dog is still a beast

A beast does not deserve a second shot

And if you can’t protect your young, you’ll end up just like me

Lonely in Columbus in a vacant parking lot

So lonely in Columbus, hey
