And you're reaching for your bag
And your checking all your things
And you're screwing up your face
Thinking what the day will bring
And you're slowing down the pace
And you're choking back all your tears
And I'm wondering
"Now you know that you're alone how will you know
Will you know what takes you home?"
And I'm holding tight your hand
For the panic in your eyes
And I'm promising the world
And it's all a pack of lies
And I'm quickening up the pace
And I'm singing a hollow tune and the song goes:
"Now you know that you're alone you need to show
Need to show, show you know the way back home"
Why do they have to leave?
Leave me in this place I said I didn't want to go?
Don't they know that
I don't know all the rules?
Feeling all confused about these faces coming close
And you're reaching in your bag
And your gathering all your things
And you're trying to find the words
To say what the night may bring
And you're slowing down the pace
And you're choking back all your tears
And you're whispering
"Now I know I'm all alone I'll need to grow
Need to grow, need to grow to make it home
To make it home.
I've always known we're on our own."
