The Lonely Traveler Lyrics

[Verse 1: Typhoon]
Woke up this morning, and I felt all alone
Had some some good flings, but I left them all at home
Now I'm loving the city but I'm living on my own
Only thing in bed next to me is my phone
And it can never fill the space that you left
No amount of smiley faces in texts
Can make up for the way you looked in that dress
You know you had me hooked, I must confess
All the other ones were good, but you were better than the best
And if I can't have you, why should I settle for the rest?
I know it's been so long, I had to get it off my chest
And thinking back to how we met, I swear I never would've guessed

[Hook x2: Typhoon]
If I travel around, how can I ever keep a girl?
Just me and my sounds, in this weather beaten world
If I don't fight this urge, how will I ever be cured?
If I don't write these words, how will I ever be heard?

[Verse 2: Typhoon]
Some say a lonely traveler is just a lost soul
I say a walk around the world is just a long stroll
But a life spent without someone can really take its toll
Sometimes I start to doubt that two halves can make a whole
I heard the wonders of Fiji, and of tales that were magical
So then I made the stories autobiographical
I traveled the globe, and found a beauty that was natural
But these days you can find me in the capital
'Cause that's how it goes, from one place to the next
No matter how far away, I'll still reply to your texts
Can take a regular day, and turn it into the best
And then rekindle the flame, no special effects
[Hook x2]

[Verse 3: Typhoon]
Never settle down, but I think I like where I'm at
It's just that people don't change, and you know that's a fact
It's still gonna be a challenge, I can promise you that
But I'm still the same person, different spot on the map
I'll fight my way to the top, man I'm done being gentle
And when I finally make it, just know it wasn't accidental
Cause this path has many obstacles, it's never something simple
And I'm tryna be more than just a lot of good potential
The name Typhoon is one that you'll know soon
I'll have it all fine tuned, like it was deja vu
'Cause now that me and my crew are making major grooves
The only thing to do is make some major moves

[Hook x2]
