The noisy crowd at the bar has always stood there<br>
Since the very first word fell out of the air<br>
And they're too smart to care<br>
Nothing reaches the ear that's heard it all before<br>
Makes everything a bore
And his song is for a girl<br>
The empty hands she holds<br>
And the clouds are crumbling<br>
And her heart growing old<br>
He sings, "I wanna love you, I wanna try,<br>
here's my heart and my soul"
The little phones they stroke<br>
Have been around since Cain<br>
Learned to kill with a smile<br>
Learned to type out his name
And his song was for a boy<br>
Who just couldn't talk<br>
Who only knows where he's going<br>
When he's too drunk to walk<br>
And things fall out of his pockets<br>
And he never finds a way out
And their arms stayed crossed<br>
And too-cruel silence-bound<br>
Good for no one or nothing<br>
There's no comfort for them<br>
There's no comfort in them
His song is for a girl, for thunder and lightning<br>
Like ______ made him so humble and frightened<br>
But the crowd at the bar, they need so much more<br>
Than anyone can ever give them<br>
Than anyone can ever give them

Lyrics

The noisy crowd at the bar has always stood there
Since the very first word fell out of the air
And they're too smart to care
Nothing reaches the ear that's heard it all before
Makes everything a bore

And his song is for a girl
The empty hands she holds
And the clouds are crumbling
And her heart growing old
He sings, "I wanna love you, I wanna try,
here's my heart and my soul"

The little phones they stroke
Have been around since Cain
Learned to kill with a smile
Learned to type out his name

And his song was for a boy
Who just couldn't talk
Who only knows where he's going
When he's too drunk to walk
And things fall out of his pockets
And he never finds a way out

And their arms stayed crossed
And too-cruel silence-bound
Good for no one or nothing
There's no comfort for them
There's no comfort in them

His song is for a girl, for thunder and lightning
Like ______ made him so humble and frightened
But the crowd at the bar, they need so much more
Than anyone can ever give them
Than anyone can ever give them
