To Be Alone


14 Jun

Where can you go when you want to be alone in the city?
I’m sitting by the highway playing make believe
I can turn the sound of traffic into ocean foam
Let the breakers wash over me ceaselessly

If I don’t have a good reason to cry, maybe you could
If I don’t have a good reason to cry, maybe you could give me one

I can’t think of anyone I want to see today
Couldn’t bring myself to get up out of bed
Got too many skeletons piling up in the closet
Restless bones wreaking havoc with my head

If I don’t have a good reason to cry, maybe you could
If I don’t have a good reason to cry, maybe you could give me one

My hands are shaking violently- I want a drink
The bar light’s humming, calling me inside
Didn’t say a word but I know my face is telling tales
Take me home, I’m too screwed up to drive

If I don’t have a good reason to cry, maybe you could
If I don’t have a good reason to cry, maybe you could give me one
