I hear lovers the next room over
Beating hearts banging on the wall
Loneliness amplifies their wordless whining
While I lay here in the dark
The bottle's empty, she let me down again
She used to treat me so sweet
God forbid I get numb enough to sleep
Or just dumb enough to weep

Shadows shambling down the hall
I see movement through the cracks of the door
I'm the property of 4 AM
Broken, broke and ignored
Now the lovers, they're arguing
Their noises keep me company
I sit up, cruel and enthralled
Their misery is sweet relief

I might be the last lonely boy in the city tonight
Everybody else is making love amid the aurora of the city lights
Feelings overwhelm and they come on swift
It's been a while since I felt missed
And I'm the last lonely boy in the city tonight
