about

The first single from The Edukators' second EP, How to be Alone.

lyrics

There’s a comfort in these tears
It’s just another regular night
This time though my hands are up
I’m ready to engage in the fight
Ask you where you disappeared
Spent weeks hoping you were alright
It’s as though you don’t have ears
Brush past me saying I’m being uptight

Was that a bad idea?
Hell yeah!
I’ll tell ya what I think
I was so caught in your spell, ha!
Clearly I need to rethink
You said you’d help me get well, now
I’m drowning in the River Styx
The last memories of safety
With me are starting to sink

Know you’ve got a lot of friends
Don’t worry about being alone
I’ll be fine too, I know that
I’ll happily jump into unknown
Territory, think I’m property, I’ve got a mind of my own
Goodbye, please cry, don’t try to find me
I’ve got my own kind of flow

Was that a good idea?
Hell yeah!
I’ll tell ya what I know
I shouldn’t have waited so long
To ask you to go
You said you wanted to be sure
Before sharing a home
That’s fine, but for four years
You preferred sleeping alone

Was that a bad idea?
Hell yeah!
I’ll tell ya what I think
I was so caught in your spell, ha!
Clearly I need to rethink
You said you’d help me get well, now
I’m drowning in the River Styx
The last memories of safety
With me are starting to sink

Was that a good idea?
Hell yeah!
I’ll tell ya what I know
I shouldn’t have waited so long
To ask you to go
You said you wanted to be sure
Before sharing a home
That’s fine, but for four years
You preferred sleeping alone
