Alone Again

[Verse 1]

Hey small town, how’s it going?

Six feet under, I think that it’s snowing

I tell myself, "I guess that’s why you’re late"

The street's bright, everybody’s dreaming

Trick of the light when I thought you might need me

Baby, I thought you said you’d never make me wait

I’m all tied up, lost in your downfall

Wide-eyed roses will melt in this snowstorm

Still, they’ll sit on my bedroom table until there’s nothing left

It’s so dark

I can taste this old school romance of leaving me down

You know, I thought you were better than that, woah

[Pre-Chorus]

And everybody else was lighting up and falling fast

You gave me storms and perfect nothings that don’t ever seem to last

[Chorus]

I’m alone again and it’s too cold

Can I go now? Can I go now?

'Cause if I wait any longer, I’ll never go home

I’ll be flat-out broke down, fall from the sky

'Cause I, I’ll be waiting by the lights for you

Last night, when you promised that you’d be home soon

[Verse 2]

Hey city, how come you’re never sleeping?

Me either, it’s just you and me this evening

This time I don’t think he’ll be coming home

But I’ll have faith

I’ll breathe letters on the window

Spelling out our names with all the things I never said, oh

One wish, one chance, I’d wish for you to know that

[Pre-Chorus]

I could see it in your eyes as you watched me run away

Scarlet letters left behind

But I can’t wait for you again

[Chorus]

Oh, I’m alone again and it’s too cold

Can I go now? Can I go now?

'Cause if I wait any longer, I’ll never go home

I’ll be flat-out broke down, fall from the sky

'Cause I, I’ll be waiting by the lights for you

Last night, when you promised that you’d be home soon

Said you'd be home soon

[Bridge]

And woah, we’re just so young, don’t know the best of it

But woah, time's getting on, I’m sick of wasting it

'Cause we’re running circles, counting sheep

This love's too dark and I can’t sleep

Oh, I’m dreaming pretty, but you’re not even in it

And it’s cold out there and my heart breaks flat

'Cause it’s so romantic falling down like that

And I’m alone again, but it’s not so bad

Guess we all have things we wanna take back

We’re reckless and breathless and we’re ready to go

So I’ll meet you at the door with a dress made of snow

And I’ll be young and afraid, and I won’t miss you again and again

[Chorus]

I’m alone again and it’s too cold

'Cause if I wait any longer I’ll never go home

'Cause I, I’ll be waiting by the lights for you

Last night, when you promised that you’d be home soon

Said you'd be home soon

Hope you get home soon
