Jars of Clay - Work lyrics

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

I have no fear of drowning

It's the breathing that's taking all this work

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"

Empty spaces with shadows hit by streetlights

Warnings 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

Now all the demons look like prophets and I'm living out

Every word they speak, every word they speak

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"

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

I have no fear of drowning

It's the breathing that's taking all this work
