about

Written in my grandma's basement in Burnaby, sometime in 2012. Thanks to Sophia for inspiring the Thoreau line. Hey Sophia, aren't you aware that in these modern times, J.D. Salinger would be considered a pedophile?

lyrics

LONELY BOY

I'm just a lonely boy
That's why I do what I do
I'm just a lonely boy
Sad but true
Sad but true

I've taken the red from many a-rose
Beautiful in bloom
I've painted my heart and I've tried in vain
To cover up the blue
Cover up the blue

My friends ask me why
I let go of love so easily
I answer them in the words of Thoreau
"All good things are wild and free"
All good things are wild and free

Maybe tomorrow... Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow... I will be....

I'm just a lonely boy
That's why I do what I do
I'm just a lonely boy
Sad but true
Sad but true
