Alone

(album: Lost Dogs - 2003)

Ooh, yeah. Ooh, yeah.

Mmm, Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone ever before.
Had his woman long as he can remember. Tries to forget but he can't, he can't.
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower. She's standing naked and apologizing.
Reaches for her till his mind becomes blood hot. Woken up to be burned burned again.

Go it alone. You got it so it goes.
Gonna breathe and I said, "I can't take it any other way."

On the streets he's walking wounded. Doesn't smile for the child at play.
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation. Anything to get his heart off of the coals.
Does he fly away or just talk about it? Like a seagull born to cry in the wind.
Own experiences lead to a younger. All-alone you will meet the one who lies in wait.

Go it alone. You got it so it goes.
Try to breathe while you can. You can't take it any other way. Yeah, yeah.

I can help myself don't talk to me.
I can help myself don't talk to me.
I can help myself. Myself.
I can help myself don't talk to me.
I can help myself don't talk to me.
I can help myself don't talk to me.
I can help myself. Myself.

I can help myself don't talk to me. I can help myself.

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone ever before.
Had his woman long as he can remember.
Tries to forget but he can't... he can't... he can't... he can't...

I can help myself don't talk to me.
