  • Well this party's turned a corner
    Every room is in disorder
    Now the nightingale won't sing for us
    We scared her away

    Well you asking me a question
    And didn't wait to hear the answer
    As we're following the dancer
    Falling down a flight of stairs

    Every strand has come unwound
    Every heart is all worn down
    Everyone in this room wanted to be somewhere else
    So tonight I found a key
    And drive away a little early
    Is the last time I wanna be that kind of lonely.

    There's a scar below your left eye
    Fades away as you get older
    Isn't like you never told her
    What kind of man you really are

    I don't know why it's so surprising
    Now the sun is almost rising
    Cause it's early in the morning
    And the moon's still standing tall

    Every strand has come unwound
    Every heart is all worn down
    Everyone in this room wanted to be somewhere else
    So tonight I found a key and drive away a little early
    It's the last time I wanna be that kind of lonely
    That kind of lonely
    That kind of lonely
    That kind of lonely
    That kind of lonely
    That kind of lonely
    That kind of lonely
