Retrograde
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're on your own
In a world you've grown
Few more years to go
Don't let the hurdle fall
So be the girl you loved
Be the girl you loved
I'll wait
So show me while you’re strong
Ignore everybody else
We're alone now
I'll wait
So show me while you’re strong
Ignore everybody else
We’re alone now
Suddenly I'm hit
It's the starkness of the dawn
And your friends are gone
And your friends won’t come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit
I'll wait
So show me while you're strong
Ignore everybody else
We're alone now (We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
I'll wait (We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
I'll wait (We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
Suddenly I'm hit
It's the starkness of the dawn
And your friends are gone
And your friends won’t come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit
