[Verse 1]
Everyone I know is away for the weekend
We could build a world of our own
I just want to swim in the lake of your deep end
There’s a lot I’d like to know

Every single day I discover a new friend
Boy, he always plays so close
I just want to play on the shore of your dreams
And there I’d like to build my home

[Pre-Chorus]
And it feels like we have lived an eternal summer
And it feels like we have slept an eternal slumber

[Chorus]
Oh, and I’ll wait to let you know
(Let you know)
Oh, I was born to be alonе
(Be alone)

[Post-Chorus]
Be alonе
Be alone
Be alone
[Verse 2]
What if I just say we could start in a new place
Where the flowers like to grow
We could hide away, do whatever you feel like
‘Til the day we’re sent and blow

Every time you smile, it’s a trade for a feeling
Every time you hold my hand
I would give my heart for a chance at your heart
And lie with you in this quicksand

[Pre-Chorus]
And it feels like we have lived an eternal summer
And it feels like we have slept an eternal slumber

[Chorus]
Oh, and I’ll wait to let you know
(Let you know)
Oh, I was born to be alone
(Be alone)

[Bridge]
I should warn you, but I won’t
I was born to be alone (Be alone)
(Be alone, be alone, be alone)
Be alone
I should warn you, but I won’t
I was born to be alone (Be alone)
(Be alone, be alone, be alone, be alone)
I should warn you, but I won’t
I was born to be alone
Be alone, be alone, be alone, be alone
I should warn you, but I won’t
I was born to be alone (Be alone)
Be alone, be alone, be alone, be alone
[Chorus]
Oh, and I’ll wait to let you know
(Let you know)
Oh, I was born to be alone
Be alone

[Outro]
(I should warn you, but I won’t)
Oh
(I was born to be alone)
To be alone
(Be alone, be alone, be alone, be alone)
Be alone
(I should warn you, but I won’t)
(I was born to be alone)
I was born to be alone
