[Verse 1]
It's a cold wind
Cuts me in half
When I see you with him
In the back room
Head in my hands
Tryna keep hold of us

[Pre-Chorus]
Like some ghost of a good time
A peach in cellophane
I wake up and hit the hall light
I'm on my own again

[Chorus]
The kid won't know how happy he's been
'Til he can't get hold of you
The guy won't know what loneliness is
'Til he can't get hold of you

[Verse 2]
At the deep end
Catching my breath
How long was I under?
I remembered
Just what he said
That night when you couldn't stop laughing
[Pre-Chorus]
Like some ghost of a good time
A peach in cellophane
I wake up and hit the hall light
I'm on my own again

[Chorus]
The kid won't know how happy he's been
'Til he can't get hold of you
The guy won't know what loneliness is (Loneliness is)
'Til he can't get hold of you

[Bridge]
Don't know how late it is
I need to calm my head down (Calm down)
Took the wrong medicine
I'm seeing stars again

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
The kid won't know how happy he's been (Happy he's been)
'Til he can't get hold of you
The guy won't know what loneliness is (Loneliness is)
'Til he can't get hold of you
The kid won't know how happy he's been (Happy he's been)
'Til he can't get hold of you
The guy won't know what loneliness is (Loneliness is)
'Til he can't get hold of you
