Lyrics

I was lonely, yeah so lonely,
Now I carry you with me everywhere I go.
You were lonely, yeah so lonely,
Then you hid in my backpack and you won’t leave.

“Wake up! I wanna go on adventures!”
But I need more sleep. Why can’t you just see?
“Wake up! There’s trouble brewing outside!”
I’ll just pretend that I can’t hear you.

I was lonely, you were lonely,
So maybe this is not so bad after all.
After all we’re buddies.
