Alone Together

Sometimes it’s hard to find that perfect opening line

when you’ve got too much on your mind

how do I turn this into poetry

I wanna say something about this strange dream that I

dreamt

where all around the world I went

I tried to run and no one followed me

Today I sat on your porch and waited for you to come

home

and the cars they drove along

one by one in endless lines

transporting papers, pills, and children back and forth

from south to north

a caravan of separates lives

And then I felt how small we are oh

then I felt how small we are oh

Baby bay take me out

tonight tonight the stars are bright

the world is made of glass and ice and maybe soon it’ll

all be shattered

make me feel like I belong like I matter to someone

and feel a little less alone come on let’s be alone

together

I’m thinking nobody will miss us when we’re gone

well, for a while, but not for long

people will sing without us listening

and people will drink and laugh on sunny afternoons

on those first sweet days of June

before the northern wind start drifting in

can you feel how small we are oh

can you feel how small we are oh

baby baby take me out tonight tonight the stars are

bight

and maybe maybe we’re not gonna matter more than this,

not ever

maybe maybe no one will ever find the traces we might

leave behind

but tonight I just don’t mind

come on let’s be alone together

can you feel how small we are

don’t you know how small we are
