Oh my friend loneliness, where have you been?
You left to the lure of the lover who left me alone
But now you come crawling back, and I’ll let you in
And we’ll slip back into grooves that we cut in ourselves long ago
But there must be a better half, somewhere out there
She lives a better life, a life that shares
Shares with a better man
The man who is there when she calls in the night
Who says “Hey, it’s alright”
And oh my dear distance, I’ve met you before
Longing for a lover who’s lost on a far distant shore
And oh my imperfections, are all that remain
And the days when I’d love you and I’d leave you, and you’d wish that I would stay
There must be a better half, somewhere out there
She lives a better life, a life that shares
Shares with a better man
The man who is there when she calls in the night
Who says “Hey, it’s alright”
I know what she looks like, her face and skin, her smell and the rest
I know the feel of her soul, but God help me I just cannot find her address
I’ve how I’ve tried but now all that’s left
Is my old friend distance and sweet loneliness
There must be a better half, somewhere out there
She lives a better life, a life that shares
Shares with a better man
The man who is there when she calls in the night
Who says “Hey, it’s alright”
“Hey, it’s alright”
“Hey, it’s alright”
