i want to be by myself, sometimes i do.
|
i don't want to be left behind, but sometimes i'm left by you.
|
|
i press my tongue to the top of my mouth,
|
'cause my jaw, it was tired with the thinking.
|
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?
|
when will it snow, it's 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 coming 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 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,
|
why do i feel so alone?
