Ben Howard - Empty Corridors lyrics

She's got a little house in town
I sometimes go around, there to see her
And she let me deep inside
I sing her love songs
But she'll turn a blind eye
Cause she, ain't the sentimental type
I keep my heart in my pocket and I hold
I hold it tight

I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm
Absent through it all
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know, that she, don't mind if I'm
Absent through it all through it all
Through it all through it all

Her skin is softer than the bluest eyes
Just with the warmth that I need
Gives me a place
To hide from the streetlights
Burning through the bedroom window
Oh honey the shadows
There's loneliness we cling to
When the morning comes
We'll go, we'll go our separate ways here
Ain't no magic my dear
Ain't no reason to stay

I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm
Absent through it all
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm
Absent through it all through it all
Through it all through it all

And we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in our useless metaphors
Yeah we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in our useless metaphors
And we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in our useless metaphors

Only 'cause we're lonely
Only 'cause we're lonely
Only 'cause we're lonely
Only 'cause we're lonely only lonely
Darling, only 'cause we're lonely
Yeah lonely only 'cause we're lonely
