Alone for a While Lyrics

Riding on the Subway

Looking like a tragic hero 

Julius Caesar never felt this warm

Or if he did he never talked about it

A one-bedroom apartment in Charlotte 

I think the loneliest number is love

I see the tourists walking through my life 

And I’m learning not to think about’m 

And I’m learning that family and your long time best friends 

Are the only ones that last 

I’m learning that tragedy and the way I react

Is the only thing I have

I’ll fall in love 

Again, I know I will 

Love’s not enough 

To keep me standing still 

I gave away my heart 

Look babe I’m a shooting star 

But I can’t give away my life

Long night flying over Memphis 

Flashing lights and faded jeans I

Think I’ll light a little candle for 

A TV screen full of dying dreams

And all the lonely teenage idols 

Who gave up what they sing about

To the God’s of superstardom

Sitting in their synagogues handing tickets out 

To the beautiful 

Am I beautiful 

Last time last fight 

I swear I tried

Is this my empire 

Are all these brilliant light for me 

A one man empire

Play my soul on an mp3

I’m learning that family 

Is really not that bad 

And I’m learning that tragedy 

Is never all I have

Cuz it's my life 

And it’s not that bad
