know myself a million fold
scared my soul's already sold
and I say a rare hello
and my mind keeps bringing me home

maybe now
is the perfect time to say goodbye
maybe now
is the perfect Alibi.
maybe now
is the perfect time to finally say
and watch it all
watch it all
slip away

come back home
come back home
come back
home

I'm on my own
on my own
on my
own


watch it all slip away
watch my car pulling out of the driveway
driving down the street
oh the passing streetlights glimmer
driving out of town
feel all my
memories grow dimmer
and the saints, the saints are on their way
they call, they fall, they fight, they pray
I'm tired of living this way
watch it all, watch it fall
I don't know my heart at all
is it always this hard finding the right thing to say?
better off, I'm off, I'm on my way
I imagined my woman the other day
said "bay, bay, bay, baby, baby come back...
come back, come back, come back to me
I want to start a family
oh and if you want
you can marry me"
oh but I don't know my way back home
to that safety zone
in my heart and mind and soul
I'm deep in a hole


build my walls and I'll be there
I fall asleep in bed
all my convictions are away
somewhere deep inside my head
I can't find words enough to know
the sound
of being
alone

watch her bend
against the wind
that blows out of my soul
breathe it in
don't ever lose control

I need love, need love
need something new
not something I've just grown used to
I'm tired of the same old routine

oh no no
I'm just unburdening my heart
I'm just breathing in
not letting new feelings start


then you walk in the door
and I don't know why I needed something more
but every time you're gone
I get the feeling something's wrong
why can't I shake these restless blues?

oh why can't I shake these
godawful blues?
oh why can't I shake these
godawful blues?

oh why can't I shake these awful blues?
you said I was somebody to you
and the boundlessness around is somebody to choose
I think about it, all about you

oh the closing of these bodies brings me down
oh the closing of these bodies brings me down


said you don't want to die alone
I think I'm all washed up
said you don't want to die alone
i think i'm giving up
well we all want somebody
and we're crazy for going it alone
yeah we all want somebody
and i'm keeping on my throne
send away the love you give me
to the wandering of my mind
til won't oh somebody
give me peace of mind
guess i'm leaving on the airplane
guess i'm leaving on the train
and i'm picking up direction
and i throw away the flame
and i'm back again with nothing
leaving nothing to my name
and i'm happy where i'm going
but i'll miss you all the same
