I wrote London is lonely back in February 2020 right before the pandemic hit here in the UK. I had just moved out of my childhood home down to London and had spent the past few months feeling really trapped and alone in my tiny flat with strangers. London felt so intense and although there were so many people around me, I felt even more isolated and like I didn’t belong. I kind of lost myself in the city. It’s funny now listening to the song almost two years on, post-pandemic and feeling like nothing much has changed at all. I’m still trying to find my place here and make it my home and so it felt right to put this song out into the world right now, when so many other people are probably feeling lost right now too.

lyrics

I started feeling like I’m living in the upside-down
Haven’t seen you in forever and I don’t know how
And I’ve been smoking and staying out too late
But you know I’ve got good intentions babe

Started feeling I could see you in the rush hour crowd
When I catch you in a stranger on the underground
But something’s missing I’ve got an empty space
And something’s different, when you leave my place

So I’ll try not to say what I mean when I call you up
And I’ll try not to think of the distances between us

And it’s all good when we dance all night
And I swear that I’ll be alright but it’s getting harder and harder to reach you
London is lonely without you
So will you stay? Cos I’m oh so sick of this place feeling way too big
And nothing can hold me can hold me like you do
London is lonely without you

Any minute now I swear I’m gonna lose my mind
So many people it’s so easy to get lost sometimes
And this winter is going on too long
Though it don’t snow here it stays pretty cold
And I miss your warmth

So I’ll try not to say what I mean when I call you up
And I’ll try not to think of the distances between us

And it’s all good when we dance all night
And I swear that I’ll be alright but it’s getting harder and harder to reach you
London is lonely without you
So will you stay? Cos I’m oh so sick of this place feeling way too big
And nothing can hold me can hold me like you do
London is lonely so lonely I’m lonely without you

I’m lonely without you
God I’m lonely without you

And it’s all good when we dance all night
And I swear that I’ll be alright but it’s getting harder and harder to reach you
London is lonely without you
So will you stay? Cos I’m oh so sick of this place feeling way too big
And nothing can hold me can hold me like you do
London is lonely so lonely I’m lonely without you
I’m lonely without you
God I’m lonely without you
London is lonely so lonely I’m lonely without you
God I’m lonely without you
Without you
