Only the Lonely Songtext
von Solon Holt

She said, "Only the lonely take the last seat at the bar"
"And only the lonely know every Townes song by heart"
I said, "It takes one to know one, don′t you think?"
"And it looks like lonely's ′bout to buy you a drink"

We were laughing and swaying with our backs turned to the crowd
We talked about loss 'til we made our way to found
We both knew it'd been too long
Since we held on

Like only the lonely can
Like we′re never gonna get this feeling again
Like we′re chasing down something we'll never get back
And we both knew it would never last
Baby, just take my hand
And let me hold you like only the lonely can


Didn′t ask any questions, didn't bother with the table talk
She just gave me those eyes and asked me where I parked
Neither of us had the heart for forever
We′re just trying to stay out of the weather

Like only the lonely can
Like we're never gonna get this feeling again
Like we′re chasing down something we'll never get back
And we both knew it would never last
Baby, just take my hand
And let me hold you like only the lonely can

Like only the lonely can
Like we're never gonna get this feeling again
Like we′re chasing down something we′ll never get back
And we both knew it would never last
Baby, just take my hand
And let me hold you, let me hold you
Let me hold you like only the lonely can
Like only the lonely can
