Alone At Home


I am glad to be shopping, here with you.
I will sit on this chair 'til you're through.
I will wait with your purse,
I won't wander off and leave it.
I am glad to be shopping, here with you.

And you know, I'll be fine by myself
Because I also am alone at home.
I'm alone at home.

I would love to swing by the candle store.
I agree we can always do with more.
You just get what you want,
And we'll find some place to keep it.
I would love to swing by the candle store.
And you know, I'll make room for your shit
Because I also am alone at home.
I'm alone at home.

No I don't want you to make it up to me,
I just don't want anyone to see the way we are when we're this way.
Can we just not make this a thing?

We can stop by your parents' on the way.
I haven't seen them at all since yesterday.
We can talk about plans for your cousin's birthday party.
We can stop at your parents' on the way.

And you know, I'll pretend to be nice
Because I also am alone at home.
I'm alone at home.
I'm alone at home.
I'm alone at home.
