"Lonely Star" lyrics

"Lonely Star"

Literally at this second
Like in everything that's happening in the world
Being a human is pretty much the hardest thing to be

Backseat, sat at the local bar
Dressed to the nines to impress the dark
Damn, they sure look good together
I'm just hoping for good weather

Lost it all when I heard the sound
Windows down and the power's out
Damn, they sure look good together
I'm just struck down in bad weather

I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?

Words are there but they don't come out
Not my best at singing loud
Damn, I sure can't make it better
I'm just hoping for bad weather

I guess I'll be a somebody that nobody knows
Guess I'll never find the one that I can call home
Home, home

I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?

I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
I'm a lonely star
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?

"Lonely Star" was teased by Oh Wonder on Twitter on the 27th of March 2020: the band posted a picture of Josephine Vander Gucht with the message "Hey Josephine, wanna release some new music next week?"
The song is the first taste of the "Home Tapes" project. The band explained, "...we will seek to write, produce and mix songs at home to share with the world on a regular basis. In the absence of certainty, at least we will have music, and we hope that these songs provide some comfort, companionship and relief to those that need it."
The introduction of this song is sampled from the music video for "All We Do" (2015).
