Just how much distance means we're on our own?
In my heart I've always known, I gotta be happy alone
The universe opens up the door
The moving sky, the rocks below all so perfectly happy alone
Would it be fair to say that you're in love with love?
But it's still enough
Until I see you off at home, down the sidewalk in my head
And can we be happy, happy alone?
I bet you feel really potent stuff
And we go right in, it's there, it's new, it's cool
Show us the things we can't afford then throw us overboard
And five minutes in, an egg timer rings
It's something we ain't seen before
I might be sinking like a stone, but perfectly happy, just openly happy
Just how much distance means we're on our own?
To clip off our carefree flapping wings
So burn my mail, destroy the phone, yeah, I'd rather be happy alone
And it's still enough
The shadows of doubt on how things turn out are typically gray
And is that enough?
But even the stopped clock on the wall is right two times a day
