Loneliness Came

[Verse 1]
Loneliness came through a crack in the window
Where the brick meets the sill by its own force of will
Then it entered my lungs like a smoke on a Friday
And by noon, I was higher than I'd ever been

[Chorus]
I'm surrounded by faces
But I never know their names
So I just lie in my room fever-dreaming of you
Till it gets better one of these days

[Verse 2]
Loneliness came like a train on a Sunday
I was told it would come, but I was shocked when it arrived
Then it carried me off to this island I live on
Full of daytime TV and not a whole lot of life

[Chorus]
I'm surrounded by faces
But I never wanna play
So I just lie in my room fever-dreaming of you
Till it gets better one of these days

[Verse 3]
Loneliness came like a cold in the winter
Just a tickle at first, then a punch to the face
Then it swallowed me up so that I became a part of it
And I learned there was something I might as well embrace

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm surrounded by faces
But I never know their names
So I just lie in my room fever-dreaming of you
Till it gets better one of these days
Till it gets better one of these days
