[Verse 1]

My family tree never grew too tall

And I’m afraid that the apple won’t ever fall


[Refrain]

On my own, on my own, on my


[Verse 2]

Glow in the dark northern star stuck up on my wall

Concealing the afternoons, cereal and cartoons, spilled milk flooded the room

And to this day dropped the ball, the catcher’s mitt never fit

I never learned to sail, and tracing ain’t compel, still can’t tie my laces well


[Refrain]

On my own, on my own, on my own


[Chorus]

Needed me another

Need a sister to a brother

Leaning on each other

But I grew up alone

Looking out my windowpane


[Verse 3]

Came from a curly heritage, roots may never part

Smoke in the chimney, needles on trees, cracks in the attic where the heirlooms should be

But from rabbit to reindeer we remained here

Yeah mama’s sound asleep, pop’s is out to sea, closet full of bones but it’s only me


[Refrain]

On my own, on my own, on my own


[Chorus]

Needed me another

Need a sister to a brother

Leaning on each other

But I grew up alone

Looking out my windowpane


[Outro]

Windowpane

Windowpane

Looking out my window

Looking out my window

Looking out my window

Looking out my window

Looking out my window

Looking out my window
