Please stay away till the end of the night

When nothing's on the run

Please stay away till I can't find

The reason and the fun

Though I've seen all their happiness

I can only be down

Go take your soul make an ode to the lonely hearted

These broken dreams are not what they seem

There's so much more than this

I can't see how she wont think now

Of everything we'll miss

All those words that have gone before

May as well have been mine

Go take your soul make an ode to the lonely hearted [x2]

I know it's a real life story

But there's so little time

I know it's a real nice story

But it seems it defined

These cigarettes weren't really the thing

They're just to ease my mind

I wonder so if she'll ever know

Of all we left behind

Of the 31 dreams we had

31 were my own

Go take your soul make an ode to the lonely hearted [x3]
