[Intro]
When I first wrote this song it was a ballad. And then I heard The Replacements. And it wasn't any more.

[Verse 1]
You can go to the east
To find your, your inner hemisphere
You say we're under the same sky
Baby, you're bound to realize
Honey, it's not that clear
I'm not your promised land (Ah, oh no)
I'm not your promised one
I'm not the land of Canaan, oh, sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun

[Chorus]
I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now
Wanting your love and you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight (Ooh yeah)

[Verse 2]
Well, the meaning's changed
For what it's worth, it's just a senseless game
Well, I should think of a love
But it's fear every time I hear
Honey your heartbeat strain
It's not the fallen man, ah no
It's not the call of time
It's just the London skyline (Oh sweetheart)
Telling me you're not mine
