You Were Alone - Casiotone For The Painfully Alone

you were alone

I saw you from that second story window

no sign of Jerome

he burned your would’ves

right down to the cinders

so why’d you go

the party’s full of friends

that you lost in the break up

did you think he’d show

& be impressed by a new dress

& your sister’s make-up

you were alone

canvassing to save your reputation

sobbing to Simone

about how he up & left no explanation

& how you drove

out to his place to pound the door

& wake the neighbors

til they yelled he ain’t home

now go & get some sleep

do us a favor

you were alone

hiding from the rain in the gazebo

shivered to the bone

& hoping for a taxi to retrieve you

well if you need a ride home

I’m on my way up to Orinda

& you can wear my coat
