Lonely Child is the 9th track off of Christina Perri’s sophomore album, Head or Heart. Lyrically, the song is a tale of a man too afraid to commit to just one relationship, and the consequences his actions have on Christina when he moves on.
[Verse 1]
Just as fast as you came
Just as fast as the sunset
You pushed me away, you pushed me down
Down, down, down
Where my dreams lay
And just as quick as you left
Just as quick as you left my heart undressed
And I fell down, down, down, down
You took my wish back to the well
And I remember all the words that you said
That love is just a spark that starts in your heart
And ends your head
[Chorus]
Darling, come down, come down
You'll lose yourself in the clouds
Slow down, slow down
Your world's spinning around
May your untamed heart stay restless running wild
'Cause you're only, just a lonely, lonely child
[Verse 2]
Just as dark as the night
Just as dark as the night
When I lost my mind, I lost control
Down, down, down
You let me sell my love for my soul
And I remember all the words that you wrote
That love is just a sound that plays in your heart
And gets caught in your throat
[Chorus]
Darling, come down, come down
You'll lose yourself in the clouds
Slow down, slow down
Your world's spinning around
May your untamed heart stay restless running wild
'Cause you're only, just a lonely, lonely child
[Bridge]
And I remember all the words that you said
That love is just a spark that starts in your heart and ends your head
[Chorus]
Darling, come down, come down
You'll lose yourself in the clouds
Slow down, slow down
Your world's spinning around
May your untamed heart stay restless running wild
'Cause you're only, just a lonely
Yes you're only, just a lonely, lonely child
