Coast to Coast

I have my father's temper
And I have my mother's heart
And all this time
Looking for you
Has left me in the dark

I feel my father's anger
While I cry my mother's tears
The porous dreams I've held for you
Have held me back for years

I've shattered all my selfish dreams
To find a dream in you
But you can't do the same for me
I guess I always knew

Was my attachment to you
A distraction from myself?
My fragile heart still tells me
I don't want anybody else

And all those magic moments
Just a pathway to the end
I try to wrap my head around
Never seeing you again

The lights have all come up now
And the end is coming soon
I'll walk home with my shoes off
Under Saturn's looming moons

Alone at last, inevitably
I sit and write this song (again)
It suddenly occurs to me
This might be what I wanted all along

And in the sudden silence
I've found one thing to be true
Deep down
The only reason I was ever drawn to you is
I wanted to be alone

Alone

Alone

(I strayed so long, just to find out you were wrong
I stayed so long, just to find out you were wrong)

And I run when hearts are open
Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

And I run when hearts are open
Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

And I run when hearts are open
Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

And I run when hearts are open
Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And I run when hearts are open
Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

And I run when hearts are open
Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

Alone
