lyrics

It’s a breakneck Monday morning
And I can take it slow
Pour cream into my coffee, fresh from off the stove
I replay my favourite saddest song to remember how it goes
Or pick up where I left off with last night’s episode
If you’re interested, I can tell you more
Of the benefits of being alone

Each day I work a little bit on plans of my own
I book flights to places I have always wanted to go
Listening to records, monophonic stereo
Crawl into bed and check for unread messages on my phone
If you’re curious, I can give you a guided tour
Of the benefits of being alone

If I don’t end up with anyone
Could be six days to find my body gone but
Think of all the space I get to roam
Don’t you worry about me, in all my solo reverie
The only one who’s there when I get home
To all the benefits of being alone

Broken conversation as you get the kids ready to go
We’ll talk about the girls’ weekend we constantly postpone
I envy how you’re steady and you envy how I roll
And how brave I am to sing about it on a microphone
No matter baby, that’s what makes the show
The benefits of being alone

Don’t you worry about me, in all my solo reverie
I decide where everything will go
Then I return to everything just so
The only one who’s there when I get home
To all the benefits of being alone
