Alone Together

Sometimes it's hard to find that perfect opening line When you've got too much on your mind How do I turn this into poetry I wanna say something about this strange dream that I dreamt Where all around the world I went I tried to run and no one followed me Today I sat on your porch and waited for you to come home And the cars they drove along One by one in endless lines Transporting papers, pills, and children back and forth From south to north A caravan of separates lives And then I felt how small we are oh Then I felt how small we are oh Baby bay take me out Tonight tonight the stars are bright The world is made of glass and ice and maybe soon It'll all be shattered Make me feel like I belong like I matter to someone And feel a little less alone come on let's be alone together I'm thinking nobody will miss us when we're gone Well, for a while, but not for long People will sing without us listening And people will drink and laugh on sunny afternoons On those first sweet days of June Before the northern wind start drifting in Can you feel how small we are, oh Can you feel how small we are, oh Baby baby take me out tonight tonight the stars are bight And maybe maybe we're not gonna matter more than this, not ever Maybe maybe no one will ever find the traces we might leave behind But tonight I just don't mind Come on let's be alone together Can you feel how small we are Don't you know how small we are
