Lonely
Sea Girls Lyrics

I wanted to feel
The singer longed for an emotional connection.

I wanted to feel this love was true
The singer hoped for a genuine romantic relationship.

I wanted to feel I had a future with you
The singer desired a committed, lasting relationship with the addressee.

I wanted to know
The artist craved knowledge.

I wanted to know how you say good night
The artist wished to learn an intimate detail about the addressee.

I needed to go
The singer required to leave for some reason.

I needed to go but I left on a light
The singer departed but left something behind intentionally.

I started a band
The artist began a new musical endeavor.

And it stopped me hanging out with you
The artist's musical pursuits interfered with their time with the addressee.

I had a plan, but now you've got a boyfriend, don't you?
The artist's romantic interests were thwarted by the addressee now dating somebody else.

I wish you could be here 'cause
The singer yearns for the company of the addressee.

I get a little bit lonely
The artist experiences sadness when alone.

When I'm not with you
The singer's loneliness is due to the absence of the addressee.

We're playing Fat of the Land
The band is performing a musical album.

By the cash and carry, I nearly cried
The singer is overwhelmed with emotion.

On the back of my hand
The artist has drawn something on their skin.

I did a doodle you used to do when we were five
The artist has recreated an activity from their childhood with the addressee.

So much has changed
The singer acknowledges the passage of time.

Does a good thing only come once around?
The singer ponders if good opportunities are rare or if they can come again.

It's OK Corral
The artist is making a reference to the Gunfight at the OK Corral, which signifies conflict.

You can't see me bleedin', but
The artist is hiding their emotional pain.

Hey, are you there?
The artist is attempting to initiate communication with the addressee.

You've been livin' in the back of my head
The addressee has been on the singer's mind frequently.

I've been sat here playing a song, thinkin' where
The artist is reflecting on their current situation while playing music.

The hell are you? And how the hell did I get here?
The singer is questioning their relationship with the addressee and their current predicament.

Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?
The singer is repeating their plea for communication with the addressee.
