I Am On My Own (Until I Get Home)

Pack the things, I'm good to go

Fly on without any fear at all

I know I'm on my own

I am on my own



She called all week long, just to say "hello"

I never answered and I really don't even know

Why I ever let her go

And now I am on my own



Send letters I am missing the mail

Send anything that will make this feel more like home

Back to where I know I'm wanted and that I'm not on my own

You know exactly where I'll go...when I get home

When I get home

That's where I will find someone that I lost so long ago

Sending postcards that never made it to their destination

We lost contact and I am begging for another round

You know exactly where I'll go...

As soon as I get home



Playing shows all day

This was the life I wanted to live

Stress caught up one day

And thats when I decided it's time to live

The phone keeps ringing but I refuse to pick it up agian

I out to be free where I am free to roam

I know I am on my own...

I'm on my own



Dial numbers, I am missing calls

Say anything to make this feel a little more like home

Back to when you and I were one and I was not alone

You know exactly where I'll go...when I get home

I am not alone...

Home is where I lost my friends oh so long ago

Lost phonecalls that never made it to their destinations

We all lost touch and I am begging for another round

You know exactly where I'll go...

When I finally drive home...



That letter you wrote to me on my birthday...

It never did arrive

And now I am beginning to think that maybe we aren't alive

Oh no- I don't want this again, I always seem to get the shitty end

I am on my own but I know I'm not alone

All I ever wanted and needed was another friend

And that's exactly where I've been

Finding frienships to make this band to make this life

Worth living for a while

Don't you bring me down

I know exactly what it means

I'm in denial...and there you are

Fuck, I can never start the car....



When I get home

That's where I will find someone that I lost so long ago

Sending prayers that never made it to their destination

We lost contact and I am begging for another round

You know exactly where I'll go...

As soon as I get home

Author's Notes/Comments: 

sometimes you feel a little shitty with the place in life you are at.  This is about learning to live with what you have...and to know the true important things in life...like friendship...or love.  You all get the drift.
