She eats lunch at her desk today
Like she did yesterday
Sips her tea, looks outside
All the people going by

She's got no plans tonight
Well, that's alright
Her friends are all out of town
They never call anyhow

She’ll swing by Trader Joe's
Wearing her office clothes
Maybe have a little chat
If a cashier is up for that

Frozen dinner, glass of wine
Netflix to the finish line
Until she tucks herself
Into bed

Chorus:
When the road you’re on
Is a lonely one

Sitting in the red cafe
On a lazy Saturday
People come and people go
No one she ever knows

Standing at the sunlit door
A guy she's seen before
Looks at her, looks away
A trace smile on his face

He walks in, gets in line
A shiver runs down her spine
What's he like? Hard to say
Looks deceive anyway

Wondering what to say to him
Should their eyes meet again
As he sets down his coffee cup
Next to hers

Chorus:
When the road you’re on
Is a lonely one
Speak your mind and then
You might find a friend

Bridge:
Who feels you, believes you
Is eager to hear you
To coax you back into the light
So show them you see them
Your foibles, your freedom
They're waiting, they're waiting

Come here often? All the time.
'Love the music. Love the vibe.
I've seen you before.
Down at the record store.

I can’t believe the sky is clear
How long you been living here
I just arrived a year ago
How do you like it? I don't know

What's yer story, what's yer deal
Everybody keep it real
Lift the veil, lose the mask
Don't be living in the past

It could sparkle, it could shine
It could be a waste of time
Although there's only way to know

Chorus
