Alone in a Crowd

You gather up all the faces in your mind
And say let's all go for a drive
But then you push 'em away for the open road
It's a solo ride
You say you'll never dust off these roots
But forget that you're homegrown
You won't let anybody in
But you don't wanna be alone

So cut me loose if it's always about who you can use
Or how much proof you got that you're always calling the shots
'Cause you sure know how
To be alone in a crowd

Every night so extravagant
The people you don't even know
But when the last one's pushed out
You call them all up and say, "Where did you go?"
You're always trying to ignite, but kill the fires that burn
Waiting in line your whole life, saying "When is it my turn?"

So cut me loose if it's always about who you can use
Or how much proof you got that you're always calling the shots
'Cause you sure know how
To be alone in a crowd

Alone, alone
Alone in a crowd
Alone, alone
Alone in a crowd
Alone, alone
Alone in a crowd
Alone, alone

Different town every single night
Only friend is that guitar
All the people shouting your name
But do they really know who you are

So cut me loose if it's always about who you can use
Or how much proof you got that you're always calling the shots
'Cause you sure know how
To be alone in a crowd

Alone, alone
Alone in a crowd
Alone, alone
Alone in a crowd
Alone, alone
Alone in a crowd
Alone, alone

Alone
Alone in a crowd
Yeah
Alone in a crowd
