Only Lonely Girl
Navigating the Night: A Tale of Solitude and Sentiment
Lyrics
Hey Tony, won?t you pour me another glass of wine?
Requesting Tony for more wine
Yeah, I think I might
Considering staying longer tonight
Stay awhile tonight
Expressing willingness to stay for some time
I could always take a taxi home
Considering options to get home, might take a taxi
It?s not that far at all, I might even walk,
Distance from home isn't far, might walk back
It?s a nice night?
Commenting on the pleasantness of the night
Na, Na, Na, Na, , yeah?
Non-lyrical sounds indicating an expression of contentment or satisfaction
David who? He?s a thing of the past, I don?t talk about him
Disregarding someone named David from the past
He met some artsy chick, and I haven?t seen him since
David moved on with someone else (artsy chick)
Maryann? She?s doing great; she might stop by in a little while
Mentioning a friend named Maryann who might visit
I knew that?d make you smile
Expecting Tony to be happy about the mention of Maryann
Yeah, I love this band, I followed them in college
Expressing admiration for a band followed in college
My friend Rebecca dated the drummer?
Referencing a friend Rebecca who dated the band's drummer
Are you kidding? Of course it didn?t work out...
Assuming the relationship didn't work out for Rebecca
Who?s that guy on piano? I don?t remember him at all
Not recognizing someone playing the piano
No thanks, not in the mood to meet somebody new
Not interested in meeting new people at the moment
I, I look around this room
Reflecting on the people present in the room
and think of all the people in this world
Contemplating the multitude of people in the world
And I, I know I?m not the only
Realizing she's not the only one feeling lonely
I?m sure I?m not the only lonely girl
Confident that she's not the only lonely girl
Na, Na, Na, Na
Non-lyrical sounds possibly indicating a sigh or emotional release
Yeah, my mom still asks me every single day if I met someone
Mentioning her mom's persistent inquiry about meeting someone
Talks about my sister?s kids? blah, blah, blah
Disinterest in her sister's children, implying repetitive discussion
Yeah, I?ll take another glass, but just one more I think
Agreeing to one more glass of wine cautiously due to sentimental feelings when drinking
?Cause I can get sentimental when I drink
Noting the tendency to become emotional when drinking
I, I look around this room
Reflecting on the people in the room again
And think of all the people in this world
Contemplating humanity as a whole
And I, I know I?m not the only
Reiterating the understanding that she's not the only lonely person
I?m sure I?m not the only lonely girl
Emphasizing that she's sure others also feel lonely
Na, Na, Na, Na
Non-lyrical sounds indicating emotional release or a sigh
Ohhh, hey?
Greeting or acknowledging someone
I, I look around this room
Reflecting again on the people in the room
And think of all the people in this world
Considering the vastness of the world's population
And I, I know I?m not the only
Reaffirming the realization of not being the only lonely person
I?m sure I?m not the only lonely girl
Reasserting the belief that others share the feeling of loneliness
Na, Na, Na, Na
Non-lyrical sounds possibly indicating a sense of resignation or acceptance
Hey Tony, won?t ya close out my tab,
Asking Tony to settle the bill
don?t worry about the cab
Declining Tony's worry about the cab fare
I think I?ll walk home?
Deciding to walk home
