aoife o'donovan - i'm alone lyrics

[verse 1]
how am i gonna know? will you hear the key?
i can’t get out the door without knocking my knees
when you wake up, i’ll be sitting right there
staring you down in my underwear

[verse 2]
i’ll say, “what’ll i do when the sky turns blue?”
i can’t move without stepping on you
gimme just a minute to gather my things
goin’ down the line where the birds don’t sing
and i’m alone

[chorus]
wishing on a wishbone ain’t wrong
sucking on a peach stone to get strong
and i’m alone
waiting on the waning of the moon
tugging on the kite strings too soon
[verse 3]
i break the window and i scale the wall
don’t worry, the rose bush will break my fall
th+rns will sting but the blood won’t stain
and while i’m waiting for the bus, it starts to rain

[verse 4]
i climb on board and i take a seat
next to jimmy from the deli and anne from down the street
she avoids my gaze
i close my eyes and think of sat+rdays
and i’m alone

[chorus]
wishing on a wishbone ain’t wrong
sucking on a peach stone to get strong
and i’m alone
waiting on the waning of the moon
tugging on the kite strings too soon

[bridge]
all the while i’m wiser every day
and when i made up my mind
you were there
on the sill, there sits a silver bird
and when he sings his song
you are there
i spit out the peach stone, i’m strong
i don’t know my way home
my map’s torn in all the places that it counts
but the rivers aren’t dead
’cause you were there
i can see cathedrals
falling back behind the scr+ps of paper
and you were there
i spit out the peach stone, i’m strong
i‘ll find my way home
[coda]
how am i gonna get this through to you?
use a little cherry in the palm of my hand
put it in your mouth and you’ll understand
