Being Alone
(Young Agent Jones)
1998
Lyrics -- Jones
Being alone can make you wish you had someone to hold
Being alone can drive you to the mall to watch them walk
Being all alone can decrease your metabolism
Being alone can bring your day to a screeching halt
And the womb sounds better than it ever has
And you breathe and breathe 'til you're sore
And you can relate to the fools on TV
And you're fine as long as you're alone
Being alone can make your independence seem like a bad haircut
Kitchen lights flicker on and you can't move because the silence makes you think of home
And the room is smaller than it's ever been
Suddenly you realize you hate your phone
And it's hard to sleep because you have to sleep in your bed
But you're fine as long as you're alone
Being alone means you're in control and you never have to move
On the same note, you control the remote and wish that you could move
Being alone can make you the nosiest person on your block
You know when neighbors get home and you know when
The screams are loud enough to call the cops
And the world is big and bad and tough
And there are two locks on your door
And you long for a gentle voice to whisper "it's all right"
But you're fine as long as you're alone
