Cavetown - alone (acoustic)

Lyrics ~
Isn’t it fun to be alone
Isn’t it what you want
Isn’t it something you’ve been looking for
Isn’t it?
Isn’t it?

Honey thinks I should take it slow
Isn’t that all I know? (Yeah)
Slow to a stop and I think I might stick to the road
Like, call a tow
Take me home

I thought I was better alone
Didn’t see people a lot
Now I’m the walls of a room
Now I’m the hands of a clock
I feel like the love that I get
Is one in the same with the sauce
I feel like I bought all my friends
Am I your bud or your boss?

(I thought I was better alone, didn’t see people a lot)
(Fun to be alone)
(Now I’m the walls of a room, now I’m the hands of a clock)
(This is just what I want)
(I feel like the love that I get is one in the same with the sauce)
(This is exactly what I’m looking for)
(I feel like I bought all my friends)
(Am I your bud or your boss?)
(Isn’t it?)

Don’t wanna get lost in the haze
Don’t wanna appear in the news
Been thinking of running away from things that I don’t wanna lose
I’m wanting to beg them to stay
I’m wanting to be who they choose
But still I keep pushing away from people I don’t wanna lose
I’m keeping it cool by the way
I’m storing my head in the closet
‘Cause you matter more than my brain
Wardrobe: coldest place in my home
I’m not gonna let it decay
I’m not tryna lose my deposit
I’m not gonna beg you to stay
Yuh, yuh, I’m letting it go
(Isn’t it?)
Ohhh

Isn’t it fun to be alone?
Isn’t it what you want?
Isn’t it something you’ve been looking for?
Isn’t it fun?
Mmmm, Mmmmmmmm

Cavetown coming in clutch with this, I was having a stressful night

[scastellanos]

I started listening to you 6 years ago, and although there have been times when I stray away from your music, your acoustics never fail to be soothing on a rough day. Thanks, Robin.

[PrestonCoC]

Shows that you dont need a much of fancy equipment to make an amazing song. Robbie really is THE bedroom artist

[YeratelMagicus]

je trouve sa dingue a quelle point il a réussie a donné des sons sur la solitude. Il reprends vraiment ce que l'on ressent en une musique, c'est si agreable. Sa me premets d'accepter de plus en plus que je resterais peut être seul à jamais et que je suis pas la seule a ressentir ça. Je trouve cette musique si agreable, motivante, triste, bienveillante, ..bref, merci à toi d'exister et j'espere que les personnes qui sont seuls, vous allez un jour ne plus l'etre. Ceour à vous et bonne vie et bonne chance à tout ceux qui lisent sa. Vous êtes merveilleux.

[Luz]

Cavetown got me through the struggles of college and once I saw a new EP dropped on Spotify I literally freaked out. Brought back all the nostalgia last night.

[kalisiee]

i first found cavetown maybe 6-7 years ago, and every now and then i always come back to listen because his songs are always so nice to listen to. he’s been a major inspiration to me and is the reason why i started playing my ukulele and practice singing. thank you so much for being a part of my life, cavetown ❤

[lolohart]

Im screaming at the best part im shocked and proud 😭😭
