alone

(album: modern anxiety - 2020)

(Doing my best to juice the last out of my youth
I wish I'd done it a bit better)

Sometimes there are two, three, four of me
All fighting at the funeral 'bout who gets to own the property
Yes, I always turn up just a little too early
I stay a little long and wake up feeling pretty dirty

Oh, you're the only one who gets this
The last one left standing that I can be absurd with
Come on, what am I supposed to do?
Yes, I know I'm hard work, baby, I love you too

Doing my best to juice the last out of my youth
Before it ends
I wish I'd done it a bit better
Kept my cool around the bends

Everything goes so fast now
Let's hold it a moment and slow down
How can you leave me just right where my head
And I can't be alone

Secretly I'm not as sorted as I say I am
I'm bursting at the seems
Waiting to hear again how great I am
Yellow, red, pink, love me some lowlight
It goes real well until you find out what I'm really like

We go out to breakfast, I make two years of mess
I'm running out of answers and I'm not even dressed
I like to think I'm balanced, look at, look at my phone
'Cause you're so hyped
Now I'm jealous and still on my own

Doing my best to juice the last out of my youth
Before it ends
I wish I'd done it a bit better
Kept my cool around the bends

Everything goes so fast now
Let's hold it a moment and slow down
How can you leave me just right where my head
And I can't be alone

Yeah, you got a girl now
I guess I'm alone now
Yeah, you got a girl now
I guess I'm alone now

Doing my best to juice the last out of my youth
Before it ends
I wish I'd done it a bit better
Kept my cool around the bends

Everything goes so fast now
Let's hold it a moment and slow down
How can you leave me just right where my head
And I can't be alone

Yeah, you got a girl now
I guess I'm alone now
Yeah, you got a girl now
I guess I'm alone now
