A semi-conversational song, explaining my need and desire to be by myself from time to time (to various people). Not much else to the lyrics. Musically it's an attempt to be without the piano and use some other instruments/sounds. Lots of different melodic things going on...
Sometimes life can run you in the ground
Pettiness surrounds 'til it seems like you're gonna drown
All this madness can seem so overblown, I know
Sometimes we just need a little time alone
Take me, I've always been a loner from the start
I know my mind and I've always known my heart
I may not be clever but my soul it is my own
And I know when I need a little time alone
For a while
Sometimes it's just best to be alone
Chorus
Alone:
Where thoughts can take their shape
Alone:
Where I make a little escape
Alone:
A silent landscape
When the day just feeds me more
More than I can take
It happens a lot more often than you'd think
Where some people would just take another drink
It's the silence that makes me feel more whole
And that's why I just like a little time alone
For a while
Sometimes it's just best to be -
Alone:
Where thoughts can take their shape
Alone:
Where I make a little escape
Alone:
A silent landscape
When the day just feeds you more
More than you can take
More than you can take
Darling you might ask me where I am
Like I'm not really there (even though I am)
Near and far, your love makes me more whole
But sometimes I just need a little time alone
Once in a while
Sometimes it's just best to be alone...
...But I'll be back again with you
I'll be back again with you
I'm already here with you, my love
I'll be back again my love
