text: I blew the dust out of the corners
  Threw some dead wood on the fire
  Tuned the radio to silence
  Watched the evening sun expire
  Should have called you up this morning
  But Im such a fool at times
  I still search my shaving mirror
  Looking for your face with mine
  And I cant stay alone tonight
  Cant let another day go by
  Why is it always this way?
  Time never seems to really fly
  And time is never really on my side
  And I cant stay alone tonight
  Things have to change and they might
  But I cant stay alone tonight
  Chalk up one more crazy notion
  Imagination running wild
  But if I needed confirmation
  I would have gone that extra mile
  Youre the last chance on the highway
  Im that open stretch of road
  Youre the diner in my rear-view
  A cup of coffee getting cold
  And I cant stay alone tonight
  Cant let another day go by
  Why is it always this way?
  Time never seems to really fly
  And time is never really on my side
  And I cant stay alone tonight
  Things have to change and they might
  But I cant stay alone tonight
  Bruised in this cold war of words
  Weve come undone two loose ends alone
  Possessed by that curse youve endured
  The spell that I cast couldnt make you come home
  And I cant stay alone tonight
  Cant let another day go by
  Why is it always this way?
  Time never seems to really fly
  And time is never really on my side
  And I cant stay alone tonight
  Things have to change and they might
  But I cant stay alone tonight
