call in the airstrike, tell them to make the drop
initiate a cycle no one but you can stop
would it be fair to say that you're in love with love?
and is that enough?
I bet you feel really potent stuff
the shadows of doubt on how things turn out
are typically gray
but even the stuck clock on the wall
is right two times a day
and it's still unknown
just how much distance means we're on our own
and can we be happy
happy alone
the universe opens up a door
and we go right in, it's there, it's new, it's cool
it's something we ain't seen before
and five minutes in an egg timer rings
to clip off our carefree flapping wings
show us the things we can't afford
then throw us overboard
but it's still unknown
just how much distance means we're on our own
until I see you walking home
down the sidewalk in my head
I might be sinking like a stone
but perfectly happy
disturbingly happy
In my heart, I've always known
I gotta be happy alone
so burn the mail, destroy the phone
yeah, I'd rather be happy alone
the moon, the sky, the rocks below
all seem perfectly happy alone
our little hearts have turned to stone
they'd better be happy
alone
