We're All Alone
Emma Lyrics

Your waistcoat holds a pocketwatch,
You seem quite determined to be successful, as evidenced by the fact that you wear a pocket watch

I’s to dot and some t’s to cross
You're taking care of some small details that need to be addressed to reach your goals

You’re doing all your very best so you can insure success
You're putting forth great effort and doing everything you can to ensure that you achieve success

I think success is not so tough
In reality, success is not as difficult to achieve as you may think

Go the same direction for long enough
If you keep moving in the same direction for a long period of time

And, yes, sometimes it might feel slow, but you'll get where you want to go
You may feel like your progress is slow at times, but eventually you'll reach your desired destination

But first I think you should know
However, before you continue, there's something you should understand

We're all mad here
We're all a little bit crazy and unconventional

Insane from time to play, and good conversation
Our craziness comes from our love of having fun and engaging in deep, meaningful conversations

It's not bad here
In fact, it's actually quite good here

You'd be surprised to find what turns out to be salvation
You'd be surprised to discover that the things that seem crazy and unconventional can actually save you

Don't be sad dear
Don't be down or upset, my dear

Where I've missed milestones, it's okay, there's something else there
While I may have missed some milestones in my life, that's okay because there's always something else to be found

I'm quite mad, dear
I myself am quite crazy, my dear

I think you must be too
In fact, I think you're a bit crazy as well

Or you would be elsewhere
Otherwise, if you weren't a little bit crazy like the rest of us, you'd be somewhere else entirely

You say you fear you're running late
You express concern about the fact that you may not have achieved certain things by a certain age

For a very important date
It seems like this milestone or achievement is particularly significant to you

How will you be where you want to be
You're worried about how you'll reach your goals

By the time you are forty-three
By a specific age that means something to you

And sure I maybe feel behind
While I may feel like I'm not where I thought I would be by this point

When it comes to high school reunion time
At certain social events or milestones that bring back memories from the past

Think of all the fun I've had
I try to focus on all the positive experiences I've had in my life

It's hard to feel less than glad
It's difficult to feel anything but happy when I reflect on all the good times I've had

Then again I'm completely mad
Of course, I am still a bit crazy at the end of the day
