Jamie Green: Music
We're Alone
(Jamie Green)
J. Green, P. de Beauport, B. Macpherson
A brave and playful proposition of love between potential lovers who both come to the table with walk-in closets of emotional baggage. (Don’t we all?) It takes courage not to walk away from love, and strength and self-awareness to open yourself up to relationship when you know neither of you have your shit together yet.
V1
I’m sorry to hear that / The woman before me
Was some kinda psycho / That’s not my problemo
I too had a lover / Who left me with luggage
But I’m trying to travel / A little bit lighter
B-sect 1
So would you just please pretend / That I’m not your mother or your ex-girlfriend?
CHORUS
We’re alone in this world / We mourn everyday
We’re longing for love / Yet we still run away
We’re alone in this world / Let’s not be afraid
Here, come take my hand / Let’s try to be brave
V2
I’m fully aware that / I’m pushing your buttons
But I swear that I do this / With nothin’ but lovin’
Feel free to debate me / But I know what you’re thinking
We’re made for each other / One way or another
B-sect 2
So could we just please relax ? / Forget all the obstacles in our path!
Repeat Chorus
V3
I’m tired of waiting / Anticipating
What it would be like / The first time we get naked
Here’s the bottom line, love / I’m wanting you real bad
Forget your neuroses / Come sit on my lap
B-sect 3
‘Cuz if you were to relent / I might take a chance again and surrender
But more likely than not, my friend / We’ll go home once more, alone and frustrated
Repeat Chorus
