you can tell a cable from a tourniquet
when 10,000 12-year olds mouth along
tiny broken operatic sounds dissolved
a loss that could not be found
I know your mother
I watched her watching yu
sequined 8-year old cowboy
she knew exactly what to do

I love you too
and I love you too
I love you too
and I love you too

I'm only lonely through and through

my friends say it's sad
to hang my hat
on such a silly pop singer
an off the wall ringer
but to stand and deliver
at such an undeniable cost
and love is hard to give
love is hard to take
so I'm out the door
on a 10 week tour
so please get my mail
and tell donnie I had to bail

I love you too
and I love you too
I love you too
and I love you too

I'm only lonely through and through

I saw a boy in shibuya
he was mapping out your moves
against a wall
they filmed "high and low"
sending you a message
sending you a code

I love you too
and I love you too
I love you too
and I love you too

I'm only lonely through and through
