All you said when you came up to me
“I only fall asleep when you’re watching”
See me out the corner of your eye
I look away, silent for a while, then I say:

On and on I’m on my own;
I found my way to be
On and on, you’re far too close for me
“On and on you’re all alone,
found your way to be
Hear me when your telephone rings”

All you said when you came up to me
“I only fall asleep when you’re watching”
See me out the corner of your eye
(Slip away?) Silent for a while, I say:

On and on I’m on my own;
I found my way to be...

And when [bad word] outside
And you’re letting out, you almost cry
Sanity across your face:
“You like to feel the wind escaping
for far too long
I should be tired of loving this”

On and on I’m on my own;
I found my way to be
On and on, you’re far too close for me
On and on I’m on my own,
found the way to be
Hear me when your telephone rings”
