lyrics

She takes honey with her tea
amidst the stacks of books from the library
Or talks for hours with her friends
telling stories, making plans
Or heads to the beach all on her own
Fills her pockets full of wishing stones
Her life is full and she’s feeling blessed
but what is this rising in her chest?

Maybe all of the stars align,
and she’s at the right place at the right time
Maybe it’s all meant to be,
or maybe she’s just lonely...

He’s saying things like she’s never heard
and she’s hanging on his every word
She can’t get him off her mind
and she’s mad at herself for wasting time
‘Cause they came too easy to be true
and she reckons he’s just lonely too
But who is she to second guess
what it is he’s feeling in his chest?

Maybe all of the stars align,
and he’s at the right place at the right time
Maybe it’s all meant to be,
or maybe he’s just lonely...

So you’re lonely, that’s ok
What’s a matter with that anyways?
It’s as good as any place to start
when it comes to matters of the heart
We’re all a little lonely...

One by one or hand in hand
we trace our stories in the sand
We’re either terrified or out to play
but the tide will take us either way
So walk with me to the ocean blue
and I will find a wishing stone for you
You can cast it out into the sea
or you can cast that stone at me

Maybe all of the stars align,
and we’re at the right place at the right time
Maybe it’s all meant to be,
And maybe we’re just lonely...

Mandy Troxel

"With a folky voice of clarity that reminds one of early Emmylou Harris, Troxel navigates the waters of love lost and found with songs that offer memorable lines, but no easy answers." - Bill Mallonee
