When I'm Alone Lyrics - Indian Summer - Carbon Leaf

I opened up the music box 

I wish you would have changed the locks 

To keep me from replaying 

All the feelings I've been saving 

I did not keep them locked up inside 

I did not take my steps in stride 

Thought you were bluffing, trampled on you 

Went from friends to nothing 

Radio turns to gold 

And paves the way 

To find my home 

When I'm alone 

Overeager and underway 

I risked it all, I had to say 

What opened me up for the beating 

But the heart is for bleeding 

With scraps of songs I paste along 

The seams of my clumsy tongue 

In hopes of creating the golden notes 

That might bring you back to me 

Radio turns to gold 

And paves the way 

To find my home 

When I'm alone 

Like phantoms on the highway 

After holiday, gritting their teeth 

Racing to find a place for their soul 

Or at least a place that's less familiar 

We offer up our heart before 

The heart's invited or asked for 

Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating 

But the heart is for bleeding 

And I've said all I can say 

I am retreating, on my way 

Music box, play my song I'll sing along 

To that bitterly sweet tone when I'm alone
