lyrics

There is a way
to keep at bay
any soul who wants to come inside
You know I always go to a place whose walls I can confide in
We were meant to be
part of some big picture you can't see
For now, would you allow me to lock the door and
throw away the key

Call me crazy
Flags start raising
I just want to be that lonely
When the lights go down and
there's no sound well
I just want to be that lonely now

Last July, the time flew by
Monday morning pulled one right on over me
I couldn't see
that the body fights with what the mind wants
When I saw again
I resolved to take the time to carve a space
a quiet place where I lock the door and throw away
the key

Call me crazy
Flags start raising
I just want to be that lonely
When the lights go down and
there's no sound well
I just want to be that lonely now

Call me crazy
Flags start raising
I just want to be that lonely
When the lights go down and
there's no sound well
I just want to be that lonely
Call me crazy
Flags start raising
I just want to be that lonely
When the lights go down and
there's no sound well
I just want to be that lonely now
