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 Im such a fool at times
I still search my shaving mirror
Looking for your face with mine
And I cant stay alone tonight
Cant 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 cant stay alone tonight
Things have to change and they might
But I cant stay alone tonight
Chalk up one more crazy notion
Imagination running wild
But if I needed confirmation
I would have gone that extra mile
Youre the last chance on the highway
Im that open stretch of road
Youre the diner in my rear-view
A cup of coffee getting cold
And I cant stay alone tonight
Cant 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 cant stay alone tonight
Things have to change and they might
But I cant stay alone tonight
Bruised in this cold war of words
Weve come undone two loose ends alone
Possessed by that curse youve endured
The spell that I cast couldnt make you come home
And I cant stay alone tonight
Cant 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 cant stay alone tonight
Things have to change and they might
But I cant stay alone tonight
Things have to change and they might
But I cant stay alone tonight
