Lonely Road
The Shivers Lyrics

I could be and be free
If I could just be myself and free of judgment

Go to every party
And be able to attend social events without fear

And be me and funny
To express my true self and know that people will accept me for who I am

Maybe then they'd see
And maybe then I will feel seen, heard and understood by others

I can laugh I could smile
I am capable of being happy, but my loneliness makes it difficult to do so

Go out drinking and be wild
And be able to enjoy life and all its pleasures

If I wasn't such a lonely child
If only I could overcome this feeling of loneliness, which has haunted me since childhood

I could dance and romance
I could let loose and enjoy dancing or even be romantic with someone special

Lose my pants at every chance
And be more carefree with my actions and behavior

I could croon I could swoon
I would love to sing and serenade someone without feeling embarrassed about it”

Without a care in the night like a loon
I could also let go of my worries and fears and live in the moment like a crazy person

I could pay for my meals
Without resorting to stealing, as I feel the need to do so when I'm lonely

But I feel the need to steal
Because my loneliness drives me to these desperate measures

I wish I wasn't such a lonely road
I wish my path wasn't filled with loneliness, which is taking a toll on me

It seems to me
I have come to the realization

Man cannot be free
That humans can never truly be free of their emotions and state of mind

Knowing what he knows
Regardless of what they may know or have learned in life

And if I try
And if I try to break free from my loneliness

Well then lord please let me die
Sometimes it feels like the only escape is death

I could go with the flow
But if I could just go with the flow

And just float along
And allow myself to be carried by the current

I could chill and get ill
And take life more casually and enjoy the small things

And take hits from the bong
I could relax and enjoy life without any stress

I could go to the movies
And watch a movie without feeling self-conscious

By myself and not feel wrong
Because it feels wrong to do things alone when you're lonely

I mine wasn't such a lonely song
I wish my life story wasn't one of loneliness and isolation

Such an old an lonely
I wish I could escape from this aging and continual loneliness

I wish I wasn't such a cold and lonely road
I wish my life was filled with warmth and companionship instead of the cold and lonely road I am on
