in this world we're all alone (2016) she caught my eye, i caught her smile we'd both been in the bar a while seeking comfort in the crowd and the music turned up loud she said, "another quiet night at home was too much to bear alone... and maybe that's why people gather -- to be alone together.. because..." in this world we're all alone... we danced a slow song, it'd been so long since i could let the world slide a while now all the hurry and the worry melt away in a pretty smile she held me close, i felt her pain -- that the world would come back again but for a time, we shared the lie and tried to deny that in this world we're all alone... hold me, love me, hold me, love me it's alright, just lie to me, tell me everything will be ok just hold me, hold me, hold me we closed it down then sat on the curb and talked till 3 or 4 am then she kissed me and she told me how great it is to find a friend i laughed, she smiled, and we both hung on for a little while the love you give, the love you get, it's all the same if you can forget that in this world we're all alone...
