Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd run the risk of losing everything
Sell all my things, become nomadic
I'd run the risk, and just in case I might
Sell all my things and become the night
[PreChorus]
Oh, it's hard to believe
It's even
Irrational for me
I'm cynical, a mess
I'm touch-starved and shameless
Mmm
[Chorus]
But I'd rather be alone than a stranger
You'd come visit me late at night
I'd rather wake up alone than be reminded
Of how it was a dream this time
[Verse 2]
I'd run the risk of losing everyone
I'd sail and say my phone was overboard
I'd run the risk and just in case I might
Take a ship around the world to find
[PreChorus]
Oh, where you hid the key
It's even
Irrational for me
It's chemical, obsessed
I blame you for locking me in
Mmm
[Chorus]
But I'd rather be alone than a stranger
You'd come visit me late at night
I'd rather wake up alone than be reminded
Of how it was a dream this time
[Bridge]
It's always the same
Always the same
Every time I see someone new
I just think of you
Nothing I do
Can help it now
Guess I'll have to find
[Chorus]
That I'd rather be alone than a stranger
You'd come visit me late at night
I'd rather wake up alone than be reminded
Of how it was a dream this time
[Outro]
It was a dream this time
It was a dream this time
