Alone

I wanna be by myself

Sometimes i do

I don't wanna be left behind

But sometimes I'm left by you

I pressed my tongue to the top of my mouth

'cause my jaw it was tired from the thinking

And I stretched my toes to the end of the couch

'cause my back, it was aching from sleeping

So what is this weather

And what is this darkness

And why do I feel so alone?

And when will it snow

Its been raining for hours

And why do I feel so alone?

And when I'm left at home

When you're with someone else I'm all alone

You do not cheat me of my childhood

You bring me blankets for the walls of my forts

There is no anger with the eyebrow raised

When you do the fantastic I am amazed

So what is this weather

And what is this darkness

And why do I feel so alone?

When will it snow

It's been raining for hours

And why do I feel so alone?

You were leaving some bar

And you're comin' downtown

You're not ripping out stitches

But you want me around

Just to call you my love

Just to call you my love

You are the treasure custodian

Cleaning the moon for me

Scouring the sky

So the stars would shine bright

You stand straight-faced

And tip-toed on top of a ladder

And I, I wait

And I, I wait

And I, I wait

And when I'm left at home

I'm all alone

But I'd rather be alone with you

So what is this weather

And what is this darkness

And why do I feel so alone?

When will it snow

It's been raining for hours

And why do I feel so alone?

Oh, why do I feel so alone?
