Loneliest Handsome Man

Samantha Crain


It wasn’t a night to remember so much as it was one that just kinda stuck with me
Randomly walking into a three band bill, death metal show in downtown calgary
Reaching inside for your usual wink and partial smile that gets you almost anything
The girl at the bar gave you a free beer while I gladly paid and went to find a seat
And I can tell that you’re glad for the company
As whoever this guy is you want to be

You’re the loneliest handsome man in the world

An obvious system, such careful attention to just the right amount of disarray
But the mess has gone inward, you can’t help but wonder the point at which you let it get away from you
Lighting up a cigarette, pacing, and holding your face, it makes the tortured genius bit believable
And even though I'm wise to it, sometimes even I forget, jumping on favors, oh, I'm deceivable
And I can tell that you’re glad for the company
As whoever this guy is you want to be
You’re the loneliest handsome man in the world
And you say you don’t have nobody that you can call
No signal gets through your grand facade
You’re a journey away from a connection
And I can’t just keep on hitting with my kid gloves

You’re the loneliest handsome man
You’re the loneliest handsome man
You’re the loneliest handsome man in the world
