Anberlin Downtown Song Lyrics

Downtown Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey up town girl

Can you hear this down town song?

Wrote a couple of words to tell you

Right here is where you belong



I bet you walk the streets

Wondering who you’re thinking of

Hope you’re looking for someone to hold

And not at all in love



[Pre-chorus]

And I wonder if you can relate

To nights upon my pillow case

Eyes wide open middle of the night

You’re the last thing on my mind



[Chorus]

Only the lonely know

Only the lonely know

Only the lonely know

What nights like these do to me, yeah



[Verse 2]

I keep asking myself

If our hands were meant to be

I know this town is busy,

But I live on Public Street



We can get out of here

If only for just tonight

Ride like some Rollin stone

That’s forced to waste your life



[Pre-chorus]

And I wonder if you can relate

To nights upon my pillow case

Eyes wide open middle of the night

You’re the last thing on my mind



[Chorus]

Only the lonely know

Only the lonely know

Only the lonely know

What nights like these do to me



[Verse 3]

When I’m under (when I’m under)

Is it me you’re thinking of?

With this light (get on your knees)

I pray you’re not at all in love



With someone else (with someone new)

With something other than me and you

Just wanna be where you are (Just where you are)

If ever you’re lonely I won’t be far



[Bridge]

Only the lonely know

Only the lonely know



Only the lonely know

Only the lonely know

Only the lonely know

What nights like these do to me, yeah



Only the lonely know

Only the lonely know

Only the lonely know

What nights like these do to me
