[Verse 1: John Darnielle] I will rise up early and dress myself up nice And I will leave the house and check the deadlock twice And I will find a crowd and blend in for a minute And I will try to find a little comfort in it And I will get lonely and gasp for air And send your name up from my lips like a signal flare [Verse 2]
And I will go downtown, stand in the shadows of the buildings And bu*ton up my coat, trying to stay strong, spirit willing And I will come back home, maybe call some friends Maybe paint some pictures It all depends And I will get lonely and gasp for air And look up at the high windows, and see your face up there
