Only the Lonely
Echoes of Solitude: Jann Arden's Only the Lonely
Lyrics
We walked the loneliest mile
We traversed a path filled with solitude and isolation.
We smile without any style
We displayed happiness without a genuine sense of grace or authenticity.
We kiss altogether wrong
Our kisses lacked the right approach or connection.
No intention
There was no deliberate plan or purpose.
We lied about each others drinks
We were dishonest about what each other consumed.
We lived without each other thinking
We existed without considering life without one another.
What anyone would do
Wondering how people generally cope without us together.
Without me and you
Considering a scenario where neither of us exists.
It's like I told you
Reiterating that only those feeling lonely can truly understand.
Only the lonely can play
Lonely individuals have a unique ability to engage in certain experiences.
So hold on here we go
Prepare for what's to come, brace yourself.
Hold on to nothing we know
Hold onto the uncertainty or lack of tangible things we are familiar with.
I feel so lonely
An overwhelming sense of isolation is felt.
Way up here
Feeling extremely lonely, high above others.
You mention the time we were together
Recollection of the time spent together.
So long ago, well I don't remember
It's been so long that remembering is difficult.
All I know
All that's known is the current positive emotional impact.
Is that it makes me feel good now
Remembering the past makes one feel good in the present.
It's like I told you
Reiterating the notion that only the lonely understand.
Only the lonely can play
Loneliness enables a unique way of experiencing certain things.
Only the lonely
Loneliness grants a specific capacity to engage in certain activities.
Only the lonely can play
Emphasizing that only those feeling lonely can truly comprehend.
