​the scary jokes - Lonely

{Verse 1}
Flowers growing by the side of the highway
Black hills on the horizon
Stretches of road that seem to go on forever
Blinking yellow traffic lights
Half dismantled carnivals
Getting ready to leave town

A house I used to live in
With a strangers car in the driveway
Everything that makes me feel lonely
Reminds me of you

{Verse 2}
I went driving late last night
I couldn't get to sleep
The whole town was dark and quiet
Like I was the only one who lived there
And when I drove by the park
I saw two figures standing there

You seem strangely familiar
Wrapped up in a blanket on the grass
I felt as though I had swallowed
Broken glass

{Verse 3}
I always think I see you around town
But I guess that isn't true
How come so many people
Look exactly like you
It isn't funny anymore
It wasn't funny to begin with

But having dreams about someone you hardly remember
Is a funny thing to live with
I can't even remember
The sound of your voice

{Verse 4}
Flowers growing by the side of the highway
Black hills looming dangerously over the horizon
Dark dark stretches of road that seem to go on forever
Blinking yellow traffic lights

{Chorus}
Lying awake
Lying awake
Lying awake
All night long
Everything that makes me feel lonely
Reminds me of you
