Howard, Ben - Empty Corridors Lyrics






She's got a little house in town
I sometimes go around, there
To see her
And she'll let me deep inside
I sing her love songs
But she'll turn them blind darkness
Like she ain't the sentimental type
I keep my heart in my pocket and I hold
I hold it tight

I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all

I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all
Through it all
Through it all

Her skin is softer than the bluest eyes
Just with the warmth that I need
Gives me a place
To hide from the streetlights burning through the bedroom window
In the shadows yeah there's loneliness we cling to
When the morning comes
We'll go, we'll go our separate ways
Ain't no magic my dear, ain't no reason to stay

I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all

I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all
Through it all
Through it all

And we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in useless metaphors
Yeah we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in useless metaphors
And we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in useless metaphors

Only cause we're lonely [repeated]

    This is very touching...

  10. d.... ....

    She don’t care Ben, leave her ass

  11. J.... S....

    Thank you Ben. For properly illustrating how she makes me feel

  12. A.... ....

    His music is just pure art <3

  13. R.... U....

    I wanted to see for a long time Ben Howard live on stage. Now i have tickets for his third album but the new album doesn't sound that good to me like his older songs :/

    R.... U....

    But it's still a great experience if you can appreciate what he wants to perform...he sounds great.

    R.... U....

    I saw him three times this tour and he sounded great...though the first show was bad sound so can't say with that one.

    R.... U....

    I was lucky enough to go see him on his Forget Where We Were tour and it was amazing! But yeah I feel exactly the same man... his third album is a bit 'meh' when in comparison to his first 2... which were both masterpieces

  14. C.... C....

    Anyone know what tuning he's in?

  15. R.... ....

    This reminds me of something that would be in "The Last Of Us"

  16. R.... ....

    “”Only cause we’re lonely “” goosebumps 🙌🙌🙌

    I found out about Ben Howard around 2011. I seduced my ex wife through his song. 5 years later and through a divorce I relate to him even more. His positive songs and pessimistic songs have helped me push through. wherever my ex could be I will always wish her the best. Thanks to Ben I have learned to be the better man. even if I'm lonely.

  77. G.... F....

    This song says everything. Sadly but it does

  78. i.... r....

    I wish I can play guitar like you Ben !!

    i.... r....

    @ThePlugga44
    I will be sure to check that one out, thanks man, its a new style to me fingerpicking i usually play hard rock, but theres only so many songs you can play along with until you get bored of power chords and immense distortion, i needed something a little soft and nice sounding so started learning bens songs and i dont regret it at all

    i.... r....

    +Daniel Bond i only play this style but I've started to branch out a little, i sprained my wrist the other day and also broke my capo (used it that much, rather impressed haha) so I've started to learn a bit of blues so that'll be fun, soe, of the best ben howard songs to play and listen to are the burren ( can play acousticly but it sounds amazing with a bit of reverb and gain) and burgh island is a great one to play on electric, if you uave some effects pedals such as echo/delay i highly recommend you try small things and end of the affair, soem of the most fun songs to play. and good look on your fingerpicking journey haha i post guitar covers of his tunes, checl them out sometime if you can it'd be greatly appreciated :)

    i.... r....

    will do man and im jammin with the line 6 spider iv 15 and the fbv mkII pedal and a looper, cant remeber looper brand but it was pretty pricey, as far as blues goes do you mean like stevie ray vaughn blues or robert johnson blues... any are good but yeah i really like blues, old and new

    i.... r....

    +Daniel Bond trying my hand at bit of ol BB King but ill give those two a listen aswell

    i.... r....

    robert johnson is original blues v good soundin on guitar

  79. R.... J....

    Ahhh, it's just so good!

  80. z.... ....

    exellent 10/10

  81. L.... ....

    ben said when india sings the really high "i know that she dont mind" they both crack up and you can see it. it makes me so happy omg. its at 1:16

    L.... ....

    Ahahaha that is brilliant good spot!

  82. L.... Y....

    sometimes i wander what experience the song writer have gone through in order to write such beautiful song!!  not mention the voice, plus the live satge, his face expression, the light, the tune!  just make it perfect1! 

    L.... Y....

    It's all about the love my friend, it what's make a real artist tick.. =)
    Friendly regards!

    L.... Y....

    Me too love that is only at one side maybe two lost soul's even

    L.... Y....

    I wonder the same listening to Radical Face, The family Tree: Roots album.

  83. L.... L....

    Ben Howard, you are my hero! 

  84. K.... F....

    Perfect, just perfect. Ben Howard's music keeps me alive <3 

  85. 9.... ....

    I don't know a thing about music, but that shit he does with the guitar looks bloody difficult

    9.... ....

    @Christian Walters try sticking a guitar up your ass 

    9.... ....

    Roflmao xD im good

    9.... ....

    Its not that hard to play tho but the timing and precision that he plays with makes it unique.

    9.... ....

    This song isn't particularly difficult but needs a lot of endurance. The chorus is a huge, prolonged stretch. Ben's lucky to have fucking huge hands

    9.... ....

    If you think that looks, difficult check out under the same sun lol

  86. J.... S....

    Ugh. ♥

  87. M.... ....

    I know I'm just repeating other people's comments, but this is as close to perfection as music will ever get.

  88. M.... H....

    No no no no no......she will miss the guy, ache for him, long for him and then be desolate......without him empty and contracting till he comes to claim her

    M.... H....

    What makes you say that? Lyrics are very clear in terms of the female's regard for him

  89. M.... ....

    He built's it up in the beginning and then " BOOM "he shifts and totally changes everything, god daymn!!


    And I'm also very very great full because I was born and blessed with a music ear so I can listen to almost every music genre there is <3
    Never heard of this guys before, a friend of mine link me a couple of songs with him, and I like this one the best.

  90. F.... ....

    I keep thinking he looks like Sean Penn.. but he doesnt look like he wants to puke enough....

  91. J.... L....

    perfection exists.

    This is great music. Really, really good. Saw him live on Rock Werchter 2012. One of the best live acts I've seen in my live and I am just desperate to see them live again. Them. All four of them :)

  95. C.... C....

    watch ben howard-further away, watch the whole thing, try saying that he only appears talented due to a gimmick then :)

  96. N.... M....

    lol? He does like 4 songs like this. Keep praising Kanye, you stupid ho. Keep snapping your fingers.
