Manchester Orchestra - Do You Really Like Being Alone lyrics
[Manchester Orchestra - Do You Really Like Being Alone lyrics]
So I'll dig a hole in my room
From Birmingham and back again for you
In the end they say we'll see the truth
What a shocking beauty we can both abuse
So I folded my hands to a bird
The shadows made you laugh
They made you sunburned
And I stitched my faith into your shirt
To make sure nobody but me was getting hurt
Do you love being cast as the fool
In a movie no one ever pays to sit through
Just calm down it will be over soon
And God I wonder what it
Is I'd do without you
Do you really like being alone
Do you really like being alone
La da di da da da da
When the lord made me confront my past
We asked each other to explain the mess
Believed with enough good I'd mend
But any good I had was always simply tepid
And I tried hard to sing like they did
With my arms raised in the air
Yeah I was praising
You said that when we died it would send
But even baby Jesus knew that I was faking
Do you really like being alone
Goddamn of course you don't
Do you really like being alone
Do you really like being alone
Wouldn't blame you if you went back home
And you got an actual job
And you kissed your wife
And your two daughters
Like I wished I could
And I think that we'd be free
Oh my God, I think you'd finally feel free
I don't really like being alone
God of course I don't
I don't really like being alone
I don't really like being alone
I think I might just go back home
And get an actual job stop selling my soul
To the devil he buys so much merch from us
And I think he'd set us free
Yeah, I think he'd cut the chains
And set you and me free
Do you really like being alone
'Cause, I don't really like being alone
Do you really like being alone
Think I might just go back home
Get an actual job
And tell both my redneck neighbors
To bring their dogs inside
And I could get some sleep
'Cause, I think that all I need
Is a decent night sleep
From Birmingham and back again for you
In the end they say we'll see the truth
What a shocking beauty we can both abuse
So I folded my hands to a bird
The shadows made you laugh
They made you sunburned
And I stitched my faith into your shirt
To make sure nobody but me was getting hurt
Do you love being cast as the fool
In a movie no one ever pays to sit through
Just calm down it will be over soon
And God I wonder what it
Is I'd do without you
Do you really like being alone
Do you really like being alone
La da di da da da da
When the lord made me confront my past
We asked each other to explain the mess
Believed with enough good I'd mend
But any good I had was always simply tepid
And I tried hard to sing like they did
With my arms raised in the air

But even baby Jesus knew that I was faking
Do you really like being alone
Goddamn of course you don't
Do you really like being alone
Do you really like being alone
Wouldn't blame you if you went back home
