It's breakneck Monday morning and I can take it slow
Pour cream into my coffee fresh from off the stove
I replay my favourite saddest song to remember how it goes
Or I pick up where I left off with last night's episode
If you're interested I could tell you more
Of the benefits of being alone
Each day I work a little bit, the plans are my own
I book flights to all the places I have wanted to go
Listening to records monophonic stereo
Crawl into bed and check for unread messages on my phone
If you're curious I could give you a guided tour
Of the benefits of being alone
If I don't end up with anyone could be six days to find my body gone
But think of all the space I get to roam
Don't you worry about me and all my solo reverie
I'm the only one who's there when I get home
To all the benefits
The benefits of being alone
Broken conversations you get the kids ready to go
We'll take about the girls weekend we constantly postpone
I envy how you're steady and you envy how I roam
And how brave I am to sing about it all on microphone
No matter baby, that's what makes the show
The benefits of being alone
Don't you worry about me and all my solo reverie
I decided where everything will go
Then I return to everything just so
The only one who's there when I get home
To all the benefits, all the benefits
The benefits of being alone
