A World Alone lyrics

That slow burn waits while it gets dark

Bruising the sun

I feel grown up with you in your car

I know it's dumb

We've both got a million bad habits to kick

Not sleeping is one

We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip

I'm biting my tongue

But people are talking, people are talking

Raise a glass, cause I'm not done saying it

They all wanna get rough, get away with it

Let 'em talk, cause we're dancing in this world alone

World alone, we're all alone

All my fake friends and all of their noise

Complained about work

They're studying business, I study the floor

And you haven't stopped smoking all night

Maybe the Internet raised us

Or maybe people are jerks

But people are talking, people are talking

But not you

But people are talking, people are talking

[Chorus]

All the double-edged people into schemes

They make a mess, then go home and get clean

You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone,

A world alone, we're all alone

I know we're not everlasting

We're a trainwreck waiting to happen

One day the blood will flow so gladly

One day we'll all get still, get still

[Chorus]
