Alone Lyrics

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 pressed 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
thee is no anger with the eyebrows 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 I 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
and why do I feel so alone?
why do I feel so alone?
