Lyrics

VERSE 1
I am lonely, but I am not alone
You might recognize my name, but trust me, I am still unknown
I’m just a talking head who’s singing songs and telling stories
But people never take the time to get to really know me
I’m a shipwreck, lost, forgotten, on an island on my own
I’m lonely, but not alone

CHORUS
Be near, be close
Be near, be close
Be near, be close
I’m lonely, but not alone

VERSE 2
I am lonely, but I am not alone
You came demanding answers, I’ve got questions of my own
I’m a bag for you to punch but you won’t look me in the eyes
Someone for you to blame and judge, critique and scrutinize
I’m wandering and wondering if i’ll ever find a home
I’m lonely, but not alone

VERSE 3
I am lonely, but I am not alone
I’m always in motion like the pixels on my phone
I’m wrapped up in the sound when what I long for is the quiet
On the outside I am calm, but my mind is never silent
I’m tangled up in weeds of a garden overgrown
I’m lonely, but not alone

BRIDGE
I need the invisible God to take shape
In the warmth of your hand and the skin on on your face
I need something real, someone that I can hold
I’m lonely, but I’m not alone
