I Live Alone

I was 22

Alone with nothing to do

And I couldn't sleep

'Cause all those cold days

Returned with their old ways

Of causing new apathyI live alone, I live aloneShe was 21

Wishing she'd lived by the sun

The sand and the sea

So I suggested she move out fast

And not be the last

To leave and be freeI live alone, I live alone

I live alone, I live aloneSweet summer day

I'm so afraid so take me awayWe were 17

Longing to live in between

The earth and the stars

So I suggested we grow up fast

And not be the last

But look where we areWith no connection

I saw your reflection at home

In my bedroom mirror

And I felt young again

When I saw what we could've been

In all of those yearsI live alone, I live alone

(Come, take me away)

I live alone, I live alone
