Only Lonely Lyrics by The Ballroom Thieves

Paper Crown - EP

0

[Verse 1]
My fingers are the only bones I want here
She takes me when I share my den and turn my tide
She knows I have a tendency, I make mountains out of stones
And with that timber, burn a hundred fires
[Verse 2]
I've been around and up and down this road before
I've eaten all the seeds you yearn to give
When I was born, she made a garland of the broken weeds
I've always worn it and forever she has lived
[Chorus]
How did you know? When I would go
When I swim back to you
I can only tread water while you tend to my other
She is only lonely for you
[Verse 3]
Back when all her quiet words were thunder
And her answers were all crooked little truths
I was heavy as a hazard in an unmade bed
Spinning lies with empires for my youth
[Chorus]
How did you know? When I would go
When I swim back to you
I can only tread water while you tend to my other
She is only lonely for you
[Bridge]
I can build a nest in any scaffold
Dwelling in the revelry I keep
I'm traveling in a nightmare on a map back to the greenhouse
Take me to the garden where my daydreams sleep
[Chorus]
How did you know? When I would go
When I swim back to you
I can only tread water while you tend to my other
She is only lonely for you
