Lay your body down awhile,
I see you're tired.
You've been running all around me.
You never seem inspired
If I unload the night awhile,
I see the wires.
Put your arms around me
And we'll act like you rely.

But it gets old
To be alone
I can't even be at home
And be alone
You wrapped yourself up in some gold
And silver wires.
Came to me so softly.
I never asked you why.

You hid your voice behind some
Convoluted cry.
I wrote your name across my arm,
But you still won't come inside
It gets old
To be alone.
I can't even be at home
And be alone.

It's so cold tonight, so please,
Come back inside.
Lay your body down on me
And tell me that it's fine
There's a world outside, so darling,
Close the blinds.
Every time that we get drunk,
Well, it could just be you and I.

But I'm too old
To be alone.
I can't even be at home
And be alone.
