| The depth of your dreams, the height of your wishes |
| The length of your vision to see, the hope of your heart |
| Is much bigger than this |
| For it’s made out of what might be |
| Now picture your hope, your heart’s desire — |
| As a castle that you must keep |
| In all of its splendor, it’s drafty with lonely |
| This heart is too hard to heat |
| Chorus: |
| When I get lonely ah, that’s only a sign |
| Some room is empty, and that room is there by design |
| If I feel hollow — that’s just my proof that there’s more |
| For me to follow — that’s what the lonely is for |
| Is it a curse or a blessing this palace of promise |
| When the empty chill makes you weep |
| With only the thin fire of romance to warm you |
| These halls are too tall and deep |
| Chorus |
| But, you can seal up the pain, build walls in the hallways |
| Close off a small room to live in |
| But those walls will remain, and keep you there always |
| And you’ll never know why you were given… why you were given the lonely |
| Some room is empty |
| If I feel hollow that’s just my proof that there’s more |
| For me to follow — that’s what the lonely is for |
| From the deep of your dreams, the height of your wishes |
| The length of your vision to see, the hope of your heart |
| Is much bigger than this |
| For it’s made out of what might be |
| Chorus |
