We Stand Alone - The Crimea

Girl I love only you, in the battle of hearts and minds, just you

But we couldn’t sing in tune, shattered glass, cleared the room, Just you

We stand alone at the end of it all

A stone’s throw from Nirvana

Ever since you went away

The world will never be the same

They sent an army for you

They named a street after you, just you

Girl I hunger for only you

In the battle of hearts and minds, just you

We stand alone at the end of it all

A stones throw from Nirvana

Ever since you went away

The world will never be the same

And I waited outside all night in the rain, but you never came back,

so I waited again

And I waited like a handprint, waited like a headstone, waited like a cactus,

waited like a broken home

Waited for the sun like a midwinter dawn and I saw your face on a milk carton

And you looked real young, like you’d never hurt anyone

I waited through the storm and I waited through the fire

Waited eight miles high just to stay alive

And I waited as the crows peck out my eyes

And the bluebottles swarm, and their children are born

And I wait ‘til my bones bleach white in the sun

And I waited as Santa Anna whistles through my rib cage

Scorpions hide in side my broken elevator

Outside all night in the rain, ‘til my dying day I’ll wait again

We stand alone at the end of it all

Have symbiotic existence

Ever since you went away

The world will never be the same
