lyrics

Well it don’t mean anything to be young and to be free
If you’re begging on your knees to not be alone
Well you show me everything, keep it just out of arm’s reach
An illusion not to be, be so alone
So alone

You show me so much grace
Even though I know I’ve been swerving so in and out of my lane
I guess it’s not my day
But I’ll try again, you’ll deny again, and on and on again this way

Well it don’t mean anything to be young and to be free
If you’re begging on your knees to not be alone
Well you show me everything, keep it just out of arm’s reach
An illusion not to be, be so alone
So alone

I’m reaching out my hand
Pages of scribbled words, don’t let this be absurd, I hope you understand
And thinking of it now
Nothing but foolishness, all of this bullishness
Guess I will see myself out

Well it don’t mean anything to be young and to be free
If you’re begging on your knees to not be alone
Well you show me everything, keep it just out of arm’s reach
An illusion not to be, be so alone
So alone
