We Live Alone

from The Way It's Always Been by Paul Ventura

lyrics

get me up
i won't be forever wired
why does stagnating leave me tired
all along

they want to talk
but not with me it's been awhile
since i saw them all them kids
have piled up

(prechorus)
and i bet
more than,
i can ever answer for yeah
yesterday was the same
i've been here before

waiting for the end of winter
holding out for something bigger
i've held it all
let's just pretend you're not my only hope

(chorus)
we live alone
in silence
hoping for a chance to be best friends

we live alone
in silence
it's what it is


give it up
cos you just miscalculated
it's an hour from the couch
to out the door

and they'll want to talk
about everything you're missing
thinly veiled as a description
of what they want

(prechorus)
and i bet
more than,
i'll be ever asking for yeah
drinking faith from a paper
cup on the floor

not self aware enough to call it
always on the right side of something
your glass is full
no need to measure when you
made the rules

(chorus)

(solo)

(bridge)
in our sleep
we're never gonna cry or dream no
silver scenes on the screen
they leave us behind

the strangest things will keep us going
we've gotten good at being broken
we carry on
it's just the way it's always been

(chorus)
