Jars of Clay
Work
[Verse 1]
Just in case, I will leave my things packed
So I can run away
I cannot trust these voices
I don't have a line of prospects that can give some kind of peace
There is nothing left to cling to that can bring me sweet release

[Pre-Chorus]
I have no fear of drowning
It's the breathing that's taking all this work

[Chorus]
Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"?
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"

[Verse 2]
Empty spaces with shadows hit by street lights
Warning signs and weight of tired conversations
In the absence of a shoulder, in the abscess of a thief
On the brink of this destruction, on the eve of bittersweet

[Pre-Chorus]
Now all the demons look like prophets and I'm living out
Every word they speak, (every word they speak)
Every word they speak, (every word they speak)
[Chorus]
Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"?
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"

[Chorus]
Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"?
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
Alone, alone, I don't want to be alone

[Outro]
I have no fear of drowning
It's the breathing that's taking all this work
