I blew the dust out of the corners
|
Threw some dead wood on the fire
|
Tuned the radio to silence
|
Watched the evening sun expire
|
|
Should have called you up this morning
|
But I'm such a fool at times
|
I still search my shaving mirror
|
Looking for your face with mine
|
|
And I can't stay alone tonight
|
Can't let another day go by
|
Why is it always this way?
|
Time never seems to really fly
|
And time is never really on my side
|
And I can't stay alone tonight
|
Things have to change and they might
|
But I can't stay alone tonight
|
|
Chalk up one more crazy notion
|
Imagination running wild
|
But if I needed confirmation
|
I would have gone that extra mile
|
|
You're the last chance on the highway
|
I'm that open stretch of road
|
You're the diner in my rear-view
|
A cup of coffee getting cold
|
|
|
And I can't stay alone tonight
|
Can't let another day go by
|
Why is it always this way?
|
Time never seems to really fly
|
And time is never really on my side
|
And I can't stay alone tonight
|
Things have to change and they might
|
But I can't stay alone tonight
|
|
Bruised in this cold war of words
|
We've come undone two loose ends alone
|
Possessed by that curse you've endured
|
The spell that I cast couldn't make you come home
|
|
And I can't stay alone tonight
|
Can't let another day go by
|
Why is it always this way?
|
Time never seems to really fly
|
And time is never really on my side
|
And I can't stay alone tonight
|
Things have to change and they might
|
But I can't stay alone tonight
|
Things have to change and they might
|
But I can't stay alone tonight
|

Can't Stay Alone Tonight
