If You Insist

Are you looking to be alone Or can I sit with you a while? I don't want to be a stranger anymore And you won't even have to smile We can talk about the rain How it can't seem to stop Something stupid like the football game Or I can tell you where to shop We're running out of options It's time to close the tab If you insist on being lonely Let me put you in a cab Are you looking for something easy? Do you need to feel alive? Do you crave a love that tears through your life like a Category five? My momma spent every day alone In a house of noise and names She got so tired of putting out fires She just laid down in the flames We're running out of options I've told you all my jokes If you insist on being lonely Can you leave a couple smokes? I could lie to you all night Say I saw you in a dream We don't have to get to know each other better Let it be just how it seems I won't ask you for your number Don't even need to know your name I'm too tired to get excited And I'm too old to be ashamed We're running out of options I'll give you time to think If you insist on being lonely Let me leave you to your drink We're running out of options I'll wait outside the door If you insist on being lonely I might wait a minute more
