Today I woke up pretty late
And I been here all by myself
I haven't eaten yet
I was kinda hungry before
But I'm not really anymore
It kind of goes away
I thought there was nothing here
But I know it's hard everywhere
So I stayed home today
I was kinda lonely before
But I'm not really anymore
It kind of goes away
I think I'll be okay
My roommates are in italy
The apartment is empty
I hope they don't come back
Maybe their plane will crash
I should just get over that
It's not really fair
Because they're coming back
Maybe I should learn to deal
With people because that's what's real
I'm good at being alone
Maybe I will meet someone
and they'll like me and we'll have fun
It's not such a stretch
Not if you're such a catch
And we'll share sandwiches
It's not so funny
It happens to everybody
Even to me
Now my food is on the stove
And I am right here all alone
I'm happy to be on my own
Paint a chair, unplug the phone
Think of ways I've lost and won
Been one boy away from doing something dumb
Happy that I'm on my own
In this room here all alone
Where the lights are really low
Drink a beer and have a smoke
Listen to rufus wainwright
Straight till daylight
Then go out and meet someone
Share sandwiches and have some fun
It happens to everyone
I thought there was nothing here
But I know it's hard everywhere
So I'll stay home today.
I was kinda lonely before
But I'm not really anymore
it kinda goes away
I'll stay home today
I think I'll be okay
I think I'll be okay
I think I'll be okay
