I was led by the explorers in my head Tossing and turning, awkward in my own bed So I went out for a walk around my town Hoping to get lost at last, tired of being let down I used to be a partner, I used to be a pen pal I was swinging on a seesaw but now, but now I’m alone, alone again I need a good friend like I never needed one before I need a mentor to come knocking upon my door I went to a party at a bar in a hotel lobby People were hiding behind their occupations fondling their car keys I looked out the window, longing like a wealthy widow Or maybe a jealous gypsy learning how to let go I used to be a partner, I used to be a pen pal I was swinging on a seesaw but now, but now I’m alone, alone again
I need a good friend like I never needed one before I need a mentor to come knocking upon my door And I know I’m not the only one who is feeling alone That’s feeling alone Who’s feeling alone I’m feeling alone Come on now I hear you knocking on my door Come on knocking on my door Because I’m alone, alone again I need a good friend like I never need one before I need a mentor to come knocking upon my door Because I’m alone, alone again I need a good friend like I never needed one before I need a mentor to come knocking upon my door And I know I’m not the only one who is feeling alone Alone Alone
