Lonely
O&A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the path of the sun
And while you're away spare a thought for me
Cause I'll be the lonely one
You say that my leaving doesn't mean
We've been together too long
What it does mean however is till
Your here
Come away with me won't you
I can hear A voice in the distance yell
And when I look up to see if it
Could be you
I see that it's only myself
I'll be the lonely one
Some say that it's easy to forget
The further it is that you run
What I'd like to say is when your not here
I'll be the lonely one
I'll be the lonely one
And I won't try and reach you
There's no point
You never return my call
If I do leave a message I guarantee
It won't be acknowledged at all
God speed on your journey overseas
Into the path of the sun
And while you're away
Spare a thought for me
Cause I'll be the lonely one
Yes, I'll be the lonely one
The lyrics of O&A's song Lonely tell the story of a person who is being left behind by a loved one who is going overseas. The person left behind is asking the person leaving to remember them and to think of them while they are gone. The person left behind is acknowledging that although they have not been together for an exceptionally long time, the person leaving is still the only one for them, and they will miss them greatly. They also mention that they will not try to reach out to the person leaving because they understand that they will not respond. The song ends with the person left behind being alone and knowing that they will be lonely in the absence of their loved one.
The song is a poignant reflection on the struggle of being separated from those we love. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and sadness that many people can relate to. The song is musically simple but emotionally resonant, with a melody that is both mournful and hopeful. The lyrics are introspective and express themes of love, loss, and the challenges of maintaining relationships when distance separates us.

God speed on your journey overseas
Wishing you a safe and swift journey as you travel overseas
Into the path of the sun
Heading towards a brighter future
And while you're away spare a thought for me
Please remember me even when you're far away
Cause I'll be the lonely one
I'll be feeling lonely and missing you
You say that my leaving doesn't mean
You claim that my departure isn't a sign of our separation
We've been together too long
Because we've spent so much time together
What it does mean however is till
Yet, what it does imply is that until
Your here
You're back here with me
I'll be the lonely one
I'll be feeling lonely and missing you
Come away with me won't you
Join me on this journey if possible
I can hear A voice in the distance yell
I can hear a voice calling out from afar
And when I look up to see if it
However, when I search to see if it's
Could be you
It might be you
I see that it's only myself
I realize it's just my own voice echoing
I'll be the lonely one
I'll be feeling lonely and missing you
Some say that it's easy to forget
Some people claim that it's simple to move on
The further it is that you run
The farther you go
What I'd like to say is when your not here
However, what I really mean is that when you're absent
I'll be the lonely one
I'll be feeling lonely and missing you
I'll be the lonely one
I'll be feeling lonely and missing you
And I won't try and reach you
I won't make an effort to contact you
There's no point
Because there's no use
You never return my call
You never respond to my messages or calls
If I do leave a message I guarantee
Even if I did leave a message, I'm sure
It won't be acknowledged at all
It won't be recognized or replied to
God speed on your journey overseas
Wishing you a safe and swift journey as you travel overseas
Into the path of the sun
Heading towards a brighter future
And while you're away
During the time you're gone
Spare a thought for me
Please remember me and my feelings
Cause I'll be the lonely one
I'll be feeling lonely and missing you
Yes, I'll be the lonely one
Indeed, I'll be feeling lonely and missing you
