Now That I'm Alone

I’ve been driving
Fast in my car away from home
And I'm surviving
But I’ll admit I miss my dog
It’s somewhat violent
He kind of pull it has on me
But I’ll keep trying
Until it gets the best of me

I'm always hiding
From knowing eyes that see right through
This old disguise
I’ve been growing out of it like it was you
Sometimes I find it’s the hardest thing to hear the truth
But I don’t mind it, not when I'm hearing it from you

Where do I go now that I'm alone dear
Where will I find my peace
Just far enough so not to hear you calling
Stop waiting up for me

I'm always crying
About petty wounds that just won’t heal
But staying silent
While kids are dying, world’s on fire
It’s every headline
Feel so helpless all the time
I can’t do it anymore
Not if I'm on my own

Where do I go now that I'm alone dear
Where will I find my peace
Just far enough so not to hear you calling
Stop waiting up for me

Maybe I’ll run away out to the mountains
Lying out in the open
Every night star gazing
Maybe I’ll leave without a trace in the morning
No more wishing, no more hoping
The great wide open

Where do I go now that I'm alone dear
Where will I find my peace
Just far enough so not to hear you calling
Stop waiting up for me
