| Do you ever feel so alone
|
| That if you were to pick up the phone
|
| No one else would be on the other end?
|
| Have you ever been far from home
|
| So scared you had to roam
|
| And now you’re beaten and tired with no one to call a friend?
|
| (He doesn’t count.)
|
| You tried your best to make a change
|
| But people just think you’re strange
|
| And you feel like
|
| No one else is singing my song
|
| No one knows the rhythm enough to sing along
|
| If only someone could see
|
| In three-part harmony
|
| How alone
|
| How alone
|
| How alone
|
| Only I am
|
| It’s late and getting colder
|
| You’re only getting older
|
| And you’re next to someone who is fast asleep
|
| That’s so specific
|
| Does anyone understand?
|
| Would anyone understand?
|
| Could anyone understand?
|
| Of course not, because
|
| No one else is singing my song
|
| No one knows the rhythm enough to sing along
|
| When the core of your problem is a
|
| Complicated melisma
|
| No one gets
|
| How alone
|
| How alone
|
| How alone
|
| Only I am
|
| But maybe while I’m singing my song
|
| Someone else is singing along
|
| [REBECCA}
|
| About a third higher, and they echo at a different moment
|
| Moment!
|
| How beautiful it would be
|
| If it was the entire company
|
| But that’s impossible
|
| Impossible
|
| Impossible
|
| Impossible
|
| Impossible
|
| Or is it?
|
| Of course not
|
| No one else is singing my song
|
| We’re out of paper bags
|
| I mean, duh, no one knows the ever-changing rhythm
|
| Enough to sing along
|
| If only someone could see
|
| In 11-part harmony
|
| Or maybe just unison
|
| It’s logistically impossible
|
| I am super unique

|
| Hold out my lonely hands
|
| Ah!
|
| Oh, hi, guys!
|
| Hey
|
| Only I am |
