I Want To Be Alone - Chromatics

Your phone's gonna ring In the darkness of night And you'll rise from the bed Where you lay And you'll answer "Hello" And from out of the past A voice you once loved Is gonna say I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone And I had to call someone Who used to care I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone So say that you still want me And I'll be there Maybe someday, you'll lie there And look at the rain Feeling afraid and alone Feeling of hunger You just can't explain And you'll be the voice On the phone I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone And I had to call someone Who used to care I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone So say that you still want me And I'll be there I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone And I had to call someone Who used to care I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone

She said she'd meet me in the bar At the plaza hotel Wear a jacket and a tie What's the occasion? She just smiled and she wouldn't say why So here I am standing, waiting in the lobby Sweating bullets in this stupid old suit And when she sees me she busts out laughing You're a sad sight honey, but you look so cute and I don't want to be alone anymore I was checking you out I was just making sure No, I don't want to be alone anymore And, I want you tonight Although you hurt me before It didn't matter that I felt like a fool 'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door I said I'm sorry, but she said it was cool And I don't want to be alone anymore It's so confusing choosing sides In the heat of the moment Just to see if it's real It's so erotic having you Tell me how it should feel But I'm avoiding all the hard cold facts That I've got to face So ask me just one question When this magic night is through Could it have been just anyone Or did it have to be you And, will you still be saying-- I don't want to be alone anymore I was checking you out I was just making sure No, I don't want to be alone anymore And, I want you tonight Although you hurt me before It didn't matter that I felt like a fool 'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door I said I'm sorry, but she said it was cool And I don't want to be alone anymore But, don't you know that it's wrong It's wrong, it's wrong... But like the song Being caught by the wink of an eye I can't be sure we'll get along But I'm willing to try As long as you can tell me-- I don't want to be alone anymore I was checking you out I was just making sure No, I don't want to be alone anymore And, I want you tonight Although you hurt me before It didn't matter that I felt like a fool 'Cause I forgot when she walked through the door I said I'm sorry, but she said it was cool And I don't want to be alone anymore She said she'd meet me in the bar At the plaza hotel Wear a jacket and a tie What's the occasion?

And just because I feel drained around strangers It doesn't mean I'm good all by myself I wish that I could wish away this nature And leave all these doubt up on the shelf I'm not a people person so it's always painful I guess I'll plaster on a smile and say hello I don't want to be alone I don't want to be alone I can turn it on and be somebody Somebody that I know they'd rather see, yeah Honestly it knocks the breath out of me And I'm apologizing that I have to leave I'm not a people person so it's always painful I guess I'll plaster on a smile when I go, cause I don't want to be alone I don't want to be alone I wanna stay, but I gotta go I can't handle this But I don't want to be alone I don't want to be alone I don't, I don't I don't wanna be alone now I don't want to be alone I don't want to be alone I wanna stay, but I gotta go I can't handle this But I don't want to be alone I don't want to be alone, now

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone Beneath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again
