Nicole Atkins - Together We're Both Alone

May 19, 2010 15:56

I am raising a flag. I am just too tired now to fight.
It’s white and it’s waving. Can’t we save this for another night?
I used to be afraid, but now I crave the quiet. Together we are both alone, but I don’t mind.
I’ll dream of something To try and make us alright, Make us alright.

Baby, put your arms down. They’re machines that can’t be fixed no more.
And when the alarm sounds I’ll be right here waiting at your door.
We’ll sit up on the bed for a while Together we are both alone, but we don’t mind.
We’ll dream of something to try and make us all right.

But with all this trouble, When I close my eyes, you never go away
I’ve tried everything, still you won’t change. Is it better if you go?

But the ending doesn’t matter. One hundred days, and then the suffering stops.
Running faster through this Can help to save your heart before it drops.
And you didn’t even say I didn’t try. Together we are both alone, but I don’t mind.
I dreamt of everything, I tried to make this all right.
