Work Songtext
von Jars of Clay

Just in case
I will leave my things packed
So I can run away
I cannot trust these voices
I don′t have a line of prospects
That can give some kind of peace
There is nothing left to cling to
That can bring me sweet release
I have no fear of drowning
It's the breathing
That′s taking all this work
Do you know what I mean
When I say I don't wanna be alone?
What I mean when I say
I don't wanna be alone?
Empty spaces
Shadows hit by streetlights
With warning signs and weight
Of tired conversations
In the absence of a shoulder


In the abscess of a thief
On the brink of this destruction
On the eve of bittersweet
Now all the demons look like prophets
And I′m living out
Every word they speak
Every word they speak
Do you know what I mean
When I say I don′t wanna be alone?
What I mean when I say
I don't wanna be alone?
What I mean when I say
I don′t wanna be alone?
Do you know what I mean
When I say I don't wanna be alone?
What I mean when I say
I don′t wanna be alone?
What I mean when I say
I don't wanna be alone?
Alone, alone
I don′t wanna be alone
I have no fear of drowning
It's the breathing
It's taking all this work
