Song Description

This is about a man who doesn't know what it is like to be in a relationship - he has to invent a word to mean the opposite of lonely. What hapens next is open to question - he is on the verge of being a stalker and I suppose it is only the woman's attitude to him which will decide.

Lyrics

Unlonely © Ed Bast 2006
I could kid myself,
You mean nothing more to me,
I could fool myself,
Re-invent reality.
I know some people who fall in and out and in and out of love,
But that?s not me.

I only want to be unlonely.
Is that much to ask?
I only want to be unlonely.
It?s what you want too,
But I don?t want to be unlonely without you.

I?ve resigned myself, so many times,
I?m going to lose the fight,
But then I find myself,
Outside your house at night.
I plot your course by the on and off and on and off of lights,
You?re not alone.

I only want to be unlonely.
I don?t want the world,
I only want to be unlonely.
It?s what you want too,
But I don?t want to be unlonely without you.

Am I wasting time?
Am I wasting precious breath,
Trying to talk you round?
Will I talk myself to death?
And what if I gave up at just the point when you were giving in?
We?d be alone

I only want to be unlonely.
I don?t want the world,
I only want to be unlonely.
It?s what you want too,
But I don?t want to be unlonely without you.
