I got this ego that got knocked down
I'm walking real slow
Staring at the ground.
A million loners wake up every day

My life's not over, just twisted out of place.
I stop in my tracks to watch the clouds get tossed around
Suddenly that's all I can think about

I've got the big sky to hold me, and
I've got my whole life unfolding
There's beauty in solitude, so
Don’t tell me that I need you
I'm on the upside of being lonely
I've got the whole sky to hold me

I take the train home almost every night
And I talk to strangers
Just to feel alive
So I asked this lady when I was feeling bold
Am I going crazy or is this just getting old?

Half smiling she told me she misses being young, when every moment just drips with passion
She said, girl let yourself cry
Get rid of your fears of feeling loss
Don't calculate the cost

Sometimes my skin is stretched so far you can see right through it to my beating heart
It's just a growing pain
Just when I think I'm gonna shrivel up I can feel the breathing of a deeper love running through my veins, and that will never change

I've got the whole sky to hold me
temporarily lonely
I needed this solitude just to find out I don't need you.
