I blew the dust out of the c orners
T hrew some dead wood on the f ire
T uned the radio to s ilence
W atched the evening sun expi re
S hould have called you up this m orning
B ut I'm such a fool at t imes
I still search my shaving m irror
L ooking f or your face with m ine
And I c an't stay alone toni ght
C an't let another day go b y
Why is it a lways this way?
T ime never seems to really f ly
And t ime is never really on my s ide
And I c an't stay alone toni ght
T hings have to change and they m ight
But I c an't stay alo ne toni ght
C halk up one more crazy n otion
I magination running w ild
B ut if I needed confirm ation
I would have gone that extra m ile
Y ou're the last chance on the h ighway
I 'm that open stretch of r oad
Y ou're the diner in my r ear-view
A cup of c offee getting c old
And I c an't stay alone toni ght
C an't let another day go b y
Why is it a lways this way?
T ime never seems to really f ly
And t ime is never really on my s ide
And I c an't stay alone toni ght
T hings have to change and they m ight
But I c an't stay alo ne toni ght
B ruised in this cold war of w ords
We've come undo ne two loose ends alo ne
Posse ssed by that curse you've endu red
The spell that I c ast couldn't make you come h ome
And I c an't stay alone toni ght
C an't let another day go b y
Why is it a lways this way?
T ime never seems to really f ly
And t ime is never really on my s ide
And I c an't stay alone toni ght
T hings have to change and they m ight
But I c an't stay alo ne toni ght
Th ings have to change and they mi ght
But I c an't stay alo ne toni ght
