lyrics
I’ve been wrestling in this place
Of when I’m with you and without you
I feel your kiss as you leave
And the sun is still not up
A few more winks before the day starts
Interrupted lines in my throat
We need some time
To be alone together
Alone together
Alone
This broken pencil needs sharpening
Just like anything worth saving
We need a getaway plan
Baby step in my direction
Let’s finesse the next few steps
Make an elegant gesture
Toward a love that’s not fractured
Oh, we need to be
Alone Together
(together alone)
