Calm Down Aka I Should Not Be Alone Lyrics

Ezra Furman Calm Down Aka I Should Not Be Alone

(Get 'em)

Happiness was never guaranteed
I wanted nothing more than to open up and bleed
No more anaesthetic alcohol and weed
Now I got my wish and it's too much for me

And I should not be alone
The way things are going
No, no, I should not be alone
The way things are going

Panic-stricken sweating in my bed
Can't slow my heartbeat down
So I thrash around instead
Neverending movie playing in my head
Of the dress you wore and all the shit you said

And I should not be alone
The way things are going
No, no, I should not be alone
The way things are going

Baby, don't be so sad, so bad
I know isn't life we wanted
Bad men crush us into submission
Downhill sliding, no more friction
Please stop crying
Take a deep breath
Take a tall glass
Ice cold water
Calm down, calm down
Baby, calm down
I know you can't cause I can't
Calm down
Calm down, calm down
Baby, calm down
I know you can't cause I can't
Calm down
