Can't Stay Alone Tonight

I blew the dust out of the corners

Threw some dead wood on the fire

Tuned the radio to silence

Watched the evening sun expire

Should have called you up this morning

But I'm such a fool at times

I still search my shaving mirror

Looking for your face with mine

And I can't stay alone tonight

Can't let another day go by

Why is it always this way?

Time never seems to really fly

And time is never really on my side

And I can't stay alone tonight

Things have to change and they might

But I can't stay alone tonight

Chalk up one more crazy notion

Imagination running wild

But if I needed confirmation

I would have gone that extra mile

You're the last chance on the highway

I'm that open stretch of road

You're the diner in my rear-view

A cup of coffee getting cold

And I can't stay alone tonight

Can't let another day go by

Why is it always this way?

Time never seems to really fly

And time is never really on my side

And I can't stay alone tonight

Things have to change and they might

But I can't stay alone tonight

Bruised in this cold war of words

We've come undone two loose ends alone

Possessed by that curse you've endured

The spell that I cast couldn't make you come home

And I can't stay alone tonight

Can't let another day go by

Why is it always this way?

Time never seems to really fly

And time is never really on my side

And I can't stay alone tonight

Things have to change and they might

But I can't stay alone tonight

Things have to change and they might

But I can't stay alone tonight
