McKee Bonnie Lyrics

I sit alone
The singer is alone and doesn't have anyone to be with.

A dark theater watchin' the people go by
The singer is at a theater and sees people walking by, but has nobody to share the experience with.

Hand in hand
Everyone else seems to have a partner or someone to hold hands with.

Everybody but me
The artist is the only one without a partner.

I stay behind
After the movie, the artist stays behind and watches the credits.

Watchin' the credits roll by
The singer is watching the names of the people involved in the movie go by on the screen.

Roll roll roll right by me
The credits are rolling by quickly without any meaning to the singer.

I know, I won't cry
The artist won't cry even though they feel alone because they believe someone is waiting for them.

'Cause there is somebody somebody somebody waitin' for me
The artist believes there is someone out there waiting for them to find.

Out in the rain
The someone waiting for the artist might be outside in the rain.

I take a walk
The singer goes for a walk to try and find the person they believe is waiting for them.

The streets are busy tonight
The streets are full of people and activity tonight.

And I am searching for you
The singer is searching for the person they believe is waiting for them.

Waiting to brush your shoulder
The singer is waiting to physically connect with the person they are searching for.

But I'm alone
The singer is still alone and hasn't found the person they are looking for yet.

I watch the faces roll by
The artist is watching the faces of the people they pass by on the street.

But I know, I won't cry
The artist still won't cry even though they haven't found the person they are looking for yet.

How many words will go unspoken
The singer wonders how many words will be left unsaid between them and the person they are searching for.

Til I hear knocking upon my door
The singer is waiting for the person to come to them rather than continuing to search.

I'm losing track of the nights I spend heartbroken
The artist is starting to lose count of the number of nights they have spent feeling lonely and sad.

but tonight I know I won't cry no more
Despite feeling heartbroken in the past, the artist won't cry tonight because they believe someone is waiting for them.

I lie awake
The artist is unable to sleep.

I left the porch light on
The singer left the porch light on to help the person they are searching for find their way to the singer's home.

I hope it helps you to find your way
The artist hopes the light will assist the person they are looking for in finding their home.

Outside
The singer is still outside and waiting for the person to arrive.

I hear the thunder roll by
The singer hears the sound of thunder as they wait for the person to arrive.

No cause there is somebody waitin' for me
The singer won't cry tonight because they believe someone is waiting for them and will arrive soon.

Not gonna cry
The artist still won't cry despite feeling alone.

Not tonight cause there is somebody waitin' for me
The artist is confident that they won't feel alone tonight because they believe someone is waiting for them.

Not gonna cry tonight

No no no no

I stay behind
The artist stays behind at the theater after the movie is over.

Watchin' the credits roll by
The artist is still watching the credits roll by on the screen.

Roll roll roll right by me
The credits continue to roll by quickly without any meaning to the artist.
