I'm Alone

How am I gonna know? Will you hear the key? I can’t get out the door Without knocking my knees When you wake up, I’ll be sitting right there Staring you down in my underwear I’ll say "What’ll I do when the sky turns blue?" I can’t move without stepping on you Gimme just a minute to gather my things Goin’ down the line where The birds don’t sing and I’m alone Wishing on a wishbone ain’t wrong Sucking on a peach stone to get strong And I’m alone Waiting on the waning of the moon Tugging on the kite strings too soon I break the window and I scale the wall Don’t worry, the rose bush will break my fall Thorns will sting but the blood won’t stain And while I’m waiting for the bus It starts to rain I climb on board and I take a seat Next to Jimmy from the deli and Anne from down the street she avoids my gaze I close my eyes and think of Saturdays And I’m alone Wishing on a wishbone ain’t wrong Sucking on a peach stone to get strong And I’m alone Waiting on the waning of the moon Tugging on the kite strings too soon All the while I’m wiser every day And when I made up my mind you were there On the sill, there sit's a silver bird And when he sings his song you are there I spit out the peach stone, I'm strong I don’t know my way home My map's torn in all the Places that it counts But the rivers aren’t dead 'Cause you were there i can see cathedrals Falling back behind the scraps of paper And you were there I spit out the peach stone, I’m strong I‘ll find my way home How am I gonna get this through to you? Use a little cherry in the palm of my hand Put it in your mouth and you'll understand
