  • Oh, what a day, and congrats on the keys to your place
    You've escaped the rat race as they say
    Now you're settling in for the stay anyway
    You got a blank slate to renovate

    Take it all
    Yeah, you reap what you sow and so it goes
    What you put in the ground comes around
    When you don't really know what you're missing at all

    In a daze, I can picture you whittling away
    With such care, with such patience and grace
    And I smile when you say that
    You'll build me a table one day, well, I'd be so grateful

    Sometimes it's hard, getting lost, you say is a fine art
    Put the map down and follow the stars
    Shall we leave? Are you sure?
    Let me grab my bag, we can sneak out through the side door

    In the dark, are you scared?
    Did you hear those dogs bark?
    And do you ever wonder what sets you apart?
    Shine the torch on the path, darling, please don't let go of my arm

    When you sleep, are you warm? Can you feel my cold feet?
    Are you good? Are you making ends meet?
    At the end of the day, you're awake with your thoughts
    And I don't want you to be alone

    And I don't want you to be alone
    Yeah, I don't want you to be alone
    And I don't want you to be alone Writer/s: Courtney Barnett
