It Must Get Lonely - The Wonder Years

I’m a raw nerve in the sunlight

After two weeks in the dark

If you’ve gotta tell me you’re not using

It’s probably 'cause you are

I saw you there

Just a block off the sea, you’re a rowhome

On an empty street where the others have been torn down

And you’re the last one standing

It must get lonely

It must get lonely

When the gray starts to swallow gray

Where the sky meets the Irish sea

Like a suit that’s been to too many funerals

And starts fraying at the seams

I saw a bag of clementines split right open on an English street

And the contrast made me feel so goddamn dizzy

I saw you there

A block off the sea, you’re a rowhome

On an empty street

The others have been torn down

You’re the last one standing

It must get obvious enough that I’m not ever gonna change

It must get obvious enough, I’m the one who stays

But it must get lonely

It must get lonely

But it must get lonely

But it must get lonely

I’m a specter in the dim light on the flowers by the grave

In the Montmartre in Paris

Where the crows seem to know my name

And they left footprints in the snow

Along the fence on Palmer Street

Cigarette butts on the headstones

That you left for me

I saw you there

Just a block off the sea, you’re a rowhome

On an empty street where the others have been torn down

And you’re the last one standing

It must get obvious enough that I’m not ever gonna change

It must get obvious enough that I’m the one who stays

It must get obvious enough that I’m not ever gonna change

It must get obvious enough, that you’re the one who stays

But it must get lonely

It must get lonely

(it must get lonely)

It must get lonely

(it must get lonely)

It must get lonely

(it must get lonely)

It must get lonely

It must get lonely
