The Benefits of Being Alone

It's 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 I pick up where I left off with last night's episode
 If you're interested I could tell you more
 Of the benefits of being alone
 Each day I work a little bit, the plans are my own
 I book flights to all the places I have wanted to go
 Listening to records monophonic stereo
 Crawl into bed and check for unread messages on my phone
 If you're curious I could 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 and all my solo reverie
 I'm the only one who's there when I get home
 To all the benefits
 The benefits of being alone
 Broken conversations you get the kids ready to go
 We'll take about the girls weekend we constantly postpone
 I envy how you're steady and you envy how I roam
 And how brave I am to sing about it all on microphone
 No matter baby, that's what makes the show
 The benefits of being alone
 Don't you worry about me and all my solo reverie
 I decided 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, all the benefits
 The benefits of being alone
