lyrics

I feel lonely today. I should call a friend tomorrow. The bank sent me a letter; there's no money left to borrow. There's a light out in my stairwell. It's been out for 30 days. It's not laziness, it's not giving a shit. They're close, but not the same. But if you're free today, we could go out in the sun. I hear kids outside playing; I wish we had that much fun. Or maybe I should focus, 'cause I've been in-between careers. All I have to do is pick one, but I haven't made a choice in years.
And I don't want to be a better man. I just want to be who I am, and I'll leave you alone.
Are you lonely today, or is that too sad to ask? There's a couple on T.V. and they remind me of the past. My friends don't know I'm empty, 'cause I always make them laugh. I fear what people think, though people only make me sad. But if you're free tomorrow, we could go out for a drive. My engine light keeps blinking, but the stereo works fine. If not, I'll drive alone; it's my favorite waste of time. I'm happiest with myself when it's just me and my own mind.
