desperately single amidst despairing divorce

pining, pining
rocking in a chair
like on a wave
come near, come near
leave me
not
alone

not alone

dining, dining
rocking in your arms
like on a wave
stay near, stay near
leave me
not
alone

not alone

dreaming, dreaming
rocking in my head
like on a wave
come here, come cheer
leave me
not
alone

not alone

scheming, scheming
rocking in my heart
like on a wave
come hear, come hear
leave me
not
alone

not alone

screaming, screaming
rocking in my own arms
like on a wave
come fear, come fear
leave me
now
alone

now alone

rocking on gentle waves
rocking in the high sea
wishing for peace

standing on placid oceans
stranded on currentless waters
wishing for some movement

woo and destroy
marry and divorce
wax and wane
it's all the same
it's all insane

and we're all
not
alone

not alone

so i stand, on the placid sea
i pray to be rocked
and grow nauseous at the thought of waves
