"Alone" lyrics - LISA LOEB

I wanna be by myself,
Sometimes I do
I don't wanna be left behind,
But sometimes I'm left by you

I pressed my tongue to the top of my mouth
'Cause my jaw it was tired from the thinking
And I stretched my toes to the end of the couch
'Cause my back, it was aching from sleeping

So what is this weather
And what is this darkness
And why do I feel so alone?
And when will it snow
It's been raining for hours
And why do I feel so alone?

And when I'm left at home,
When you're with someone else I'm all alone

You do not cheat me of my childhood
You bring me blankets for the walls of my forts
There is no anger with the eyebrow raised
When you do the fantastic I am amazed

So what is this weather
And what is this darkness
And why do I feel so alone?
When will it snow
It's been raining for hours
And why do I feel so alone?

You were leaving some bar
And you're comin' downtown
You're not ripping out stitches
But you want me around
Just to call you my love
Just to call you my love

You are the treasure custodian
Cleaning the moon for me
Scouring the sky
So the stars would shine bright
You stand straight-faced
And tip-toed on top of a ladder
And I, I wait
And I, I wait
And I, I wait

And when I'm left at home,
I'm all alone
But I'd rather be alone with you

So what is this weather,
And what is this darkness
And why do I feel so alone?
When will it snow,
It's been raining for hours
And why do I feel so alone?
Oh, why do I feel so alone?
