& we notice you don't come around
me, I think it all depends
on you touching ground with us
but
    I quit -- I give up
nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems

& being alone is the best way to be
when I'm by myself it's the best way to be
when I'm all alone it's the best way to be
when I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye

Everything is temporary anyway
when the streets are wet -- the colors slip into
the sky but I don't know that means you & I are
that means you &
    I quit -- I give up
nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems

& being alone is the best way to be
when I'm by myself it's the best way to be
when I'm all alone it's the best way to be
when I'm by myself nobody else can say

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
& we notice you don't come around
