[Verse 1]
Alone for a while with myself
I feel so at home in the shade
Alone for the first time in my head
I feel so at ease there instead

Maybe I should leave my home
Maybe I should slip away

[Verse 2]
A home is a heartache, they tell me
Come in‚ leave your shoes at the door
The phone never rings quite on time here
The paint is a dried pool on the floor

Maybe I could finish this
Turn my back and walk away
Maybe I could slip away

[Verse 3]
At home there's a fire you've left burning
The frosted designs outline the pane
And the cold winter nights keep on turning
Stealing memories of sunshine and of rain

Maybe I could break this down
Turn around and face the day
Maybe I could slip away
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Alone for a while with myself
I feel so at home in the shade
Alone for the first time in my head
I feel so at ease there instead

Maybe I should leave my home
Maybe I could slip away
