There I’d sit – every time the phone would ring
I’d find myself answering – not saying what I could
Well who am I anyway? It seems to me I’d always say
A whole lotta everything – like everything would do me good
When did I – How did I – lose control
I’d close my eyes to what I’d been searching for

And all of this seekin’ is makin’ me weak
And I need a little time alone
I’m out there looking for help, like I can’t help myself
I think I need a little time alone

Here I am – I stand before a crowded room
Knowing that all too soon you all go away
But while you’re here I’m taking flight it happens almost every night
And I can’t explain how you ease my pain
When will I – Why won’t I – just let go
You’ve set my sails – but I feel like a drowning soul

And all of this seekin’ is makin’ me weak
And I need a little time alone
I’m out there lookin’ for help, like I can’t help myself
Oh I need a little time alone

Now there’s a time, a time for running
And there’s a time, when you’ve just, when you’ve just run out
Well, I just need one minute, to keep my mind and keep my heart in it
And believe me when I say I’m gonna shout it out
When I find it out for myself

All of this seekin’ is making me so weak
And I need a little time alone
I’m out there lookin’ for help
Like I can’t help myself
And I need a little time alone

All of this seekin’ is making me so weak
And I need a little time alone
I’m out there lookin’ for help
Like I can’t help myself
And I need a little time alone
