A father's love can be too much

Too overwhelming

And a mother's love can be abrasive

Cause misunderstanding

She said

Mom it's like looking through a tiny window

I don't know what there is to see

And you're like a suffocating blanket

Wrapped too tightly 'round me

And I would rather get lost in a crowded room

So I can try to be

Alone without being lonely

A man's touch can be welcoming

And warming

And a lover's hold can be too tight

Too safe, too controlling

He said

Your eyes are like tiny windows

I know there's so much to see

And I want a wrap you in my blanket

So you can be close to me

And I wanna stay away from the crowded rooms

So we can try to be

Alone without being lonely

Without being lonely

On a summer night the lights cut through the dark

The hopeful cries are echoing, they're echoing

Little girl you should have listened to your mother

Told you to stay away from those angry boys

And now you're calling, you're calling, you're calling out

Yes you're calling, you're calling, you're calling out

'Cause a midnight get away can be mysterious

Be inviting

And a starry night is romantic

And enchanting

A young girl's idea of love

Can be lost in fantasy

And a silent scream, a fading dream

Can be lost to the night too quickly, yea

So they gave her a tiny window

She had nothing to see

And they wrapped her in her favorite blanket

To keep her warm, obviously

And she laid in front of a crowded room

With her friends and her family

Alone forever lonely

Forever lonely, oh
