[Verse 1]
Not everyone you've abandoned
Is still standing by
Not everyone who is lost is
Wondering why

[Chorus]
Sometimes a lonely way
Taking your name down from the Jumbotron
Find a new place to stay
And a new home for the trumpeter swan

[Verse 2]
We can see it now, the scratches
On the back of the door
We can see it now, no mistaking
What you're better for

[Chorus]
Sometimes a lonely way
Taken alive in an uncivil war
Trophies and glass displays
Rehearsals for third place, forever more

[Bridge]
Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah
[Verse 1]
Not everyone you've abandoned
Is still standing by
Not everyone who is lost is
Wondering why

[Chorus]
Sometimes a lonely way
Taking your name down from the Jumbotron
Find a new place to stay
And a new home for the trumpeter swan
