about

"This guy is both pathetic and apathetic."
"Well, it's loosely based on a true story."
"Oh..."

Writing a song about how lonely you are; being really lonely.

lyrics

It's seven-fifteen on a summer evening
and I don't know if it's nice outside
'cause I haven't left the house at all yet
and I don't know if I'm hungry
or if my body wants me to sleep
for the fourth or fifth time today.
I bet, I bet it's that one.

Now the late light outside beats down on my street
and I should put the dog outside.
It's a reason to get out of bed and I can't think of a better one why.
I need someone to rescue me but I don't know who to call.
I guess I'm stuck here by myself.

It's 8pm and the sprinkler's still on.
It's been on for three hours more than it should've been
but the plants need to drink I've been told
and I think about the people that I miss.
They're having fun and they don't miss me
except for when they're lonely.
Oh I hope, I hope they get sad too.

Now the early dark presses down through my window
and I haven't heard back from my friends
I want these walls to close on me but that's now how this life's gonna end.
I need someone to rescue but I don't know who even cares.
I guess I'm stuck here by myself.
