Presumed Lyrics[]
Well, I knew that we'd be in despair
And we're going to be at least somewhere
Well, I see a place in my mind
Where I'm dreaming for a day at home
And so I'll be in despair
Thank you, thank you mom
And nowhere, I'm forever alone
Nothing, we've got to earn
And nowhere, I'm forever alone
Nothing, we've got to earn
And nowhere, I'm forever alone
Nothing, and we've got to go
...
We're forever alone, although, we are happy
We're forever alone, although, we are happy
We're forever alone, although, we are happy
We're forever alone, all alone, and we're fine with that
Alone
We're still happy
We're forever alone, we're fine with that, that is true!
We're forever alone, we're fine with that, that is true!
We're forever alone, we're fine with that, that is true!
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
