When I'm alone
The faces, they come and they go
I wonder if they think I've changed
I wish I could stay
But be where you are
The countries and cities so far
This is my dream and my gift
But sometimes I get
Scared
That somehow I'll cease to belong anywhere
So I need you when it all starts to show
When I'm alone
When I'm alone
I sleep late, it's crazy, I know
The world's only passing me by
I guess that is why
I'm telling you now
That I haven't figured it out
The depth of the things that I've missed
They leave me like this
Scared
That somehow I'll cease to belong anywhere
So I need you when it all starts to show
When I'm alone
Is it true that you can find me anytime?
'Cause I'm feeling like I'm there, it's about that time
'Cause I'm scared
That somehow I'll cease to belong anywhere
So I need you when it all starts to show
When I'm alone
When I'm alone
When I'm alone
