Please stay away till the end of the night
When nothing's on the run
Please stay away till I can't find

The reason and the fun
Though I've seen all their happiness
I can only be down

Go take your soul make an ode to the lonely hearted
These broken dreams are not what they seem
There's so much more than this

I can't see how she wont think now
Of everything we'll miss
All those words that have gone before

May as well have been mine
Go take your soul make an ode to the lonely hearted [x2]
I know it's a real life story

But there's so little time
I know it's a real nice story
But it seems it defined

These cigarettes weren't really the thing
They're just to ease my mind
I wonder so if she'll ever know

Of all we left behind
Of the 31 dreams we had
31 were my own

Go take your soul make an ode to the lonely hearted [x3]
