phantom wilds - alone at sunrise lyrics
you wake up, 8am
the smell of first morning cigarettes hangs in the air
you get dressed, pull your hair back
take a look in the mirror and wonder who’s there
such a long line of lovers
extending like the creases in your palm
all shadows in the covers
who share your bed and then never call
you’re hanging on for the real thing
instead of the cheap flings and the cold nights
you want to hear them say “i do,”
instead of just thank you and goodbye
you just don’t want to be alone, alone at sunrise
friday night, you come home
hang up your coat and your purse and climb into bed
you’d rather sleep by yourself
than make love to a stranger who’s already left
you pour yourself a drink to help you sleep
and then you lie back down
and you’re starting to think the one you want
will never come around
you’re hanging on for the real thing
instead of the cheap flings and the cold nights
you want to hear them say “i do,”
instead of just thank you and goodbye
you just don’t want to be alone, alone at sunrise
but one thought keeps you going
someday you’ll find someone that you can trust
and you’ll go to knowing
that she will still be there when the sun comes up
you’re hanging on for the real thing
instead of the cheap flings and the cold nights
you want to hear them say “i do,”
instead of just thank you and goodbye
you just don’t want to be alone, alone at sunrise
