Alone with You

Staring at the phone that’s calling

Knowing all the words we can not say

Remembering your fingers touching

Getting close to me, close to me

Numbing off the pain you left here

Places on myself you used to feel

Feel it right, gonna get it right

Nothing but a vintage novel

I could get you high, close your eyes and see

Oh come with me, come with me

Baby I am not your story

I just want a clean escape out

CHORUS:

But when I’m alone with you

When I’m alone I fall

Yeah when I’m alone with you

Nothing but a ghost that’s haunting

I could get you high, get you off the ground

Just close your eyes and try

I swore I could live just off that feeling

But baby we don’t work outside the city

Maybe we’re a story that I wrote

'bout two kids who were broke

Patti Smith and Rimbaud

Why can’t I let you go, when I don’t want to stay

You’re turning me insane,

You’re painting your portrait of a cold and lonely heart

You found a thousand ways to break a heart

(break a heart, love can’t save us all)

Baby I don’t want to be uneasy

Pulling and then leave ya

Got nothing left to tell ya

He says he can’t understand

I’m so lovely at night but so lonesome at day

We got nothing to say, so I drink it away,

a bottle each day, oh take me away

CHORUS:

But when I’m alone with you

When I’m alone I fall

Yeah when I get close to you

When I get close I fall
