Lyrics

I was on the ropes when you needed my hands

I was in a difficult situation when you needed my support

I was on the dope when you needed me down

I was using drugs when you needed me to be present

I was on the hip when you needed my heart

I was emotionally connected when you needed my love

I was on the hopes that you needed me now

I had high expectations that you needed me at this moment


And I was on the roof and you were the stars

I was in a higher place, and you were the shining elements in my life

I was on your lips, you were in my heart

We shared a deep connection, with you in my thoughts

I was on the first boat out of this town

I took the initiative to leave this town on the first available opportunity

You were on the front porch waving me out

You were on the front porch, bidding me farewell


I was on the ropes when you needed me

I was in a difficult situation when you needed my support

And I was on the dope when you needed to know

I was using drugs when you needed information or understanding

I was on the cuff when you needed my sleeve

I was on the edge when you needed my help or comfort

I was on the roots when you needed to grow

I was in the foundational elements when you needed to develop or mature


More than ever I can see into the back of my mind

There is a heightened awareness, and introspection into the depths of my thoughts

And I find me alone, me alone, me alone baby

I realize that I am alone, emphasizing solitude

Be alone, be alone, be alone baby

Reiterating the theme of being alone


I was on the ropes when you needed my hands

I was in a difficult situation when you needed my support (repeated)

I was on the dope when you needed me down

I was using drugs when you needed me to be present (repeated)

I was on the hip when you needed my heart

I was emotionally connected when you needed my love (repeated)

I was on the hopes that you needed me now

I had high expectations that you needed me at this moment (repeated)


More than ever I can see into the back of mind

Continuation of introspection into the depths of my thoughts

Baby I find me alone, me alone, me alone

Realization of being alone is emphasized (repeated)


And I was on the moon in the back of my van

I was in an elevated state of mind in an unconventional place

We were in the bedroom talking on old tin cans

We were engaged in intimate conversations in a private space


And we'll be alone, be alone baby

Emphasizing the theme of being alone

Be alone, be alone, be alone, be alone

Reiteration of the theme of being alone
