From the recording Bouts With Bummers
Lyrics
Nobody wants to be alone
A common Hollywood rhetoric
Television taught him that for his whole life
It’s hard to be ignored
Entertainment induced sadness
Inescapable ‘til someone gets your heart
All they wanted was someone to come along and make them happier than they could make themselves
The time they had together always would make them feel better than they did in the days they were alone
So who would be alone?
She always focused on her art
Music brought them together
Caught unaware that love could be so hard
They lived a million miles apart
The timing unforgiving
Both independently roam across the earth
All they ever wanted was someone to come along and make them happier than they could make themselves
The time they had together always would make them feel better than they did in the days they were alone
So who would be alone?
Distance made it harder
Time makes love grow stronger
Though they’re often alone
Hoping there’s a future living life together
Television dreams come true
Who knows what will happen
Television never gives in
To our common human failure
Never happy ever after
So they’ll try to find a way
Make it together like TV
Enjoy the time they aren’t alone
Even though someday earth might explode
