Alone

My head is so flooded, so flooded with you
It's all about me and my dreams coming true
I'm five again
Asking "Will you be my friend?"
I know nothing
The moment that you don't tell me everything

I've made you a paper crown
A pill to swallow down
A paddle so you won't drown
In my shallow waters,
Just for starters

You're so hard to leave alone
I can hardly function
Without you upon a throne
Owning every junction
Tell me to walk left or right
Tell me to run day or night
Any way you wanna say it
I can't leave you alone

I'm flailing my arms so you'll notice me here
But I'm on the wrong side of your one-way mirror
How kind of you
to write me a warm-hearted letter
If it were true
Well that would be better, yeah that would be better

I've made us a wooden stage
So we can act any age
Some costumes so you can engage
in this tragedy
That's befallen me

You're so hard to leave alone
I can hardly function
Without you upon a throne
Owning every junction
Tell me to walk left or right
Tell me to run day or night
Any way you wanna say it
I can't leave you alone

I'm taking care of me
By taking care of you
Cuz if I lost you
Oh what would I do?

I've made you some cardboard shoes
So you can walk where you choose
I made you a raincoat of newspaper
Don't forget to
say "Oh thank you!"

You're so hard to leave alone
I can hardly function
Without you upon a throne
Owning every junction
Tell me to walk left or right
Tell me to run day or night
Any way you wanna say it
I can't leave you alone

I can't leave you alone.
