Lonely
Jr. Jazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like you know me
but you hide yourself so suspiciously
You're a mystery wrapped in a dream beneath the sea
La lengua unfurls
Then collapses back down to its lonely world
I found you down in Patagonia
and showed you things you've never known
Unfold yourself
Behold yourself
Crawl out of your shell
La lengua unfurls
And collapses back down to its lonely world
The gift of life is nothing like the gift of death
The gift of you is nothing when you're not yourself
You befall me
Enthrall me
And feed me from your cells
La lengua unfurls
Then collapses back down to its lonely world
It's a lonely world
It's a lonely world
It's a lonely world

Line by Line Meaning
I get so lonely
I feel very lonely and isolated
Can't let just anybody hold me
I am very selective about who I let into my life and who I allow to touch me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
You are the only one who truly knows and understands me
Want no one but you
I desire to be with you and only you
Sittin here with my tears
I am currently feeling sad and crying alone
All alone with my fears
I am feeling afraid and vulnerable without you by my side
I'm wonderin if I have to do
I am questioning whether or not I can handle being without you
Withoutcha
Without you
But there's no reason why
I cannot find a way to be happy and move on without you
I feel asleep late last night
I fell asleep very late last night
Cryin like a newborn child
I was sobbing uncontrollably like a baby
Holdin myself close
I was holding myself tight to try and ease the pain of your absence
Pretendin my arms are yours
I was imagining that my arms were wrapped around you instead of myself
I still remember to the day
I can recall the exact day when we first got together
In fact is was a 3rd Monday
Our anniversary falls on the third Monday of the month
You came along to be the one for me
You entered my life and I knew that you were my soulmate
Now I'm alone
You are no longer here with me
Sittin here by the phone
I am waiting by the phone for you to call
Call and say that you're okay
Please call me and assure me that you're doing okay
So that I'll have the chance
I need to hear from you before I lose the chance to ask you to stay
To beg you to stay
I am desperate for you to come back to me
Gonna break it down
I am going to get emotional
Break it down, break it down
I am going to cry and let my emotions out
Whoa
Exclamation of emotion
You know
You should be aware
That I know
That I am aware
That I get so lonely thinking of you
I feel very lonely when I think about you
Oh-hooh
Exclamation of sadness and loneliness
Noowhoahooo. . .
Exclamation of pain and longing
