When you're talkin' to yourself

and nobody's home

You can fool yourself

You came in this world alone

(Alone)



So nobody ever told you baby

how it was gonna be

So what'll happen to you baby

Guess we'll have to wait and see

One, two



Old at heart but I'm only 28

And I'm much too young

to let love break my heart

Young at heart but it's getting much too late

To find ourselves so far apart



I don't know how you're s'posed

to find me lately

An what more could you ask from me

How could you say that I never needed you

When you took everything

Said you took everything from me



Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait

When no one I know can seem to help me now

Old at heart but I mustn't hesitate

If I'm to find my own way out



Still talkin' to myself and nobody's home

(Alone)



So nobody ever told us baby

how it was gonna be

So what'll happen to us baby

Guess we'll have to wait and see



When I find all of the reasons

Maybe I'll find another way

Find another day

With all the changing seasons of my life

Maybe I'll get it right next time

An now that you've been broken down

Got your head out of the clouds

You're back down on the ground

And you don't talk so loud

an you don't walk so proud

Any more, and what for



Well I jumped into the river too many times

to make it home

I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone

If it doesn't show give it time

To read between the lines

'Cause I see the storm getting closer

And the waves they get so high

Seems everything we've ever known's here

Why must it drift away
