[Verse 1]
Does anybody know
Why I get this feeling
I wake up to it eating at the core of me
And so, if dreams are just for show
Just stories without meaning
Why can I not shake them from my bones
[Chorus]
Does everybody want to be alone
Tell me it's okay so I can go home
If everybody wants to be alone
It would make the lonely feel less lonesome
[Verse 2]
It lingers in my day
It's lurking in the backyard
Birds just keep on singing, so oblivious
But you, you start to feel it too
Just underneath the surface
Whispers from the left side of the bed
[Chorus]
Does everybody want to be alone
Tell me it's okay so I can go home
If everybody wants to be alone
It would make the lonely feel less lonesome
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Does everybody want to be alone
It would make the lonely feel less lonesome
