Lie Lie Lie
Loneliness Echoed: Yearning for Love in 'Lie Lie Lie' by King Manzi
Lyrics
I saw you all alone last night
I observed you alone last night
Now you're in my dream tonight
Now you're present in my dreams tonight
Don't you know I'm lonely
Do you realize I'm feeling lonely?
Thinking of you only
Constantly thinking about you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Uncertain about my actions
Tell me that you need me too
Tell me that you also need me
I wanna be with you
I desire to be with you
Out by the Roosevelt
Located near the Roosevelt area
Throwing pennies in a wishing well
Tossing pennies into a wishing well
Hoping that you'll change your mind
Hoping for a change in your decision
Come back another time
Come back at a different time
You know I'm ready for you
Expressing readiness for your return
You never know what you might find
Uncertain about what might be discovered
Yeah yeah yeah
Expressing agreement or emphasis
It's not easy
Highlighting the difficulty
Being lonely
Of being alone
Say you're coming home tonight
Indicating a desire for your return tonight
Don't be afraid to lie, lie, lie
Encouraging the act of lying, possibly to spare feelings
Turn back on your light
Turn off your light (symbolic of ending a connection)
I wanna know it, baby where ya going
Seeking information about your destination
I wanna know it, baby where ya going
(Repetition for emphasis)
I wanna know it, baby am I going with you
Questioning if I will accompany you
Everything you used to say
Recalling past things you said
Seems like it was yesterday
Feels like those words were spoken recently
You'll always have an alibi
You always have an excuse
For every time that you don't try
For every time you avoid trying
And I can't remember
Uncertain if we ever parted ways
If we ever said goodbye
(Uncertain if we ever said goodbye)
Yeah yeah yeah
Expressing agreement or emphasis
It's not easy
Highlighting the difficulty
Being lonely
Of being alone
Say you're coming home tonight
Indicating a desire for your return tonight
Don't be afraid to lie, lie, lie
Encouraging the act of lying, possibly to spare feelings
Turn back on your light
Turn off your light (symbolic of ending a connection)
I wanna know it, baby where ya going
Seeking information about your destination
I wanna know it, baby where ya going
(Repetition for emphasis)
I wanna know it, baby am I going with you
Questioning if I will accompany you
