Lyrics We Stand Alone - The Crimea

We Stand Alone

Girl I love only you, in the battle of hearts and minds, just you
But we couldn’t sing in tune, shattered glass, cleared the room, Just you
We stand alone at the end of it all
A stone’s throw from Nirvana
Ever since you went away
The world will never be the same
They sent an army for you
They named a street after you, just you
Girl I hunger for only you
In the battle of hearts and minds, just you
We stand alone at the end of it all
A stones throw from Nirvana
Ever since you went away
The world will never be the same
And I waited outside all night in the rain, but you never came back,
so I waited again
And I waited like a handprint, waited like a headstone, waited like a cactus,
waited like a broken home
Waited for the sun like a midwinter dawn and I saw your face on a milk carton
And you looked real young, like you’d never hurt anyone
I waited through the storm and I waited through the fire
Waited eight miles high just to stay alive
And I waited as the crows peck out my eyes
And the bluebottles swarm, and their children are born
And I wait ‘til my bones bleach white in the sun
And I waited as Santa Anna whistles through my rib cage
Scorpions hide in side my broken elevator
Outside all night in the rain, ‘til my dying day I’ll wait again
We stand alone at the end of it all
Have symbiotic existence
Ever since you went away
The world will never be the same
