[Verse] It’s 3 a.m., the fridge hums like it’s got something to say, I’m tracing cracks in the ceiling, giving shape to the gray Streetlight leaks through the blinds in thin, sharp bars, Painting stripes on the walls like the cell of a heart that’s been caught Asking why the quiet feels melancholy When you’re one of the lonely humans [Chorus] Just a few lonely humans, tapping Morse code on the void. Hoping somebody’s out there who’s also scared and annoyed That the world is so big and we’re so small but don’t get it twisted, we’re capable Yeah, we’re just a few lonely humans trying to feel less like ghosts [Verse] I talk to the steam off my coffee like it’s an old friend, It disappears the same way every conversation ends I keep the TV on mute so the room doesn’t win, But silence still crawls inside my skin. Tell me I’m not the only one listening For one more of the few lonely humans. [Chorus] Just a few lonely humans, sending smoke up the flue Waiting for some other chimney to answer back with a plume or two We break easy, yeah, but don’t get it twisted; we mend louder than we crack Yeah, we’re just a few lonely humans trying to make the dark talk back [Bridge] Maybe the night gets thinner when two lost voices collide Maybe sorrow sounds better with harmony on the side Maybe all any of us need is proof we’re not the only one awake Someone to whisper through the static, “I’m hurting in the same damn way.” How simple is that [Outro] Just a few lonely humans, holding matches to the cold Striking them one by one till the darkness looks like gold We’re only flesh, but don’t get it twisted; we burn like cities when we’re ready Yeah, we’re just a few lonely humans and tonight that feels like plenty
