lyrics

everybody told me, babe,
they told me I should steer clear
but I didn't listen
'cause I couldn't hear

we were out of step
we were out of tune
we were out of phase
like the day and the moon

and it's a lonely love
its a lonely love
it's a lonely love between you and I

and I had to sing for you
'cause I forgot how to talk
and I wanted to find you
so I learned how to walk

you're a shock to the system
a lightning bolt to the chest
you're a natural disaster
but I like you the best

and it's a lonely love
it's a lonely love
it's a lonely love between you and I

it's a lonely love
it's a lonely love
it's a lonely love between you and I

and I would not be here without you honey
nor you without me
I tried to lock you out
but you changed the key

and there's an Everest to climb
around every turn
so I'm gonna take my poems
and watch them burn

and it's a lonely love
it's a lonely love
it's the only love between you and I

it's a lonely love
it's the only love
it's a lonely love between you and I
