I want to be by myself, sometimes I do

I don't want to be left behind, but sometimes I'm left by you

I press my tongue to the top of my mouth

Cause my jaw, was tired from the thinking

And I stretched my toes to the end of the couch

'Cause my back, it was aching from sleeping

So what is this weather, and what is this darkness,

And why do I feel so alone?

And when will it snow, it's been raining for hours

And why do I feel so alone?

And when I'm left at home, when you're with someone else I'm all alone

You do not cheat me of my childhood

You bring me blankets for the walls of my forts

There is no anger with the eyebrow raised

When you do the fantastic I am amazed

So what is this weather, and what is this darkness

And why do I feel so alone?

When will it snow, it's been raining for hours and why do I feel so alone?

You were leaving some bar, and you're coming downtown

You're not ripping out stitches, but you want me around

Just to call you my love, just to call you my love

You are the treasure custodian cleaning the moon for me

Scouring the sky so the stars would shine bright

You stand straight-faced, and tip-toed on top of a ladder

And I, I wait and I, I wait, and I, I wait

And when I'm left at home, I'm all alone but I'd rather be alone with you

So what is this weather, and what is this darkness

And why do I feel so alone?

When will it snow, it's been raining for hours

And why do I feel so alone?

Oh, why do I feel so alone?
