How to Be Not Alone

How to Be Not Alone - Helen J Shen

Lyrics by：Hue Park/Will Aronson

Composed by：Will Aronson

CLAIRE：

So here we are in some motel

Trying to do what neither of us does well

We have to not be alone

I'm cringing less I'm laughing more

As I forget the stranger you were before

We're slowly getting in sync

And I'm beginning to think

It's not so bad discovering how this works

Adjusting to your quirks

Even though it's not my style

Teach me to not be alone

It's not so hard to let somebody in

Just think how long it's been

Since somebody made you smile

Learn how to not be alone

And by tomorrow

It seems absurd but do you suppose

That you and I might wake up to find we're pros

At being not alone

OLIVER：

Hey I'm thinking of switching it up tomorrow

So instead of late swing era it'd be more post-bop

Birth of the Cool kinds of tracks

Jeru Moon Dreams Godchild Budo Boplicity

CLAIRE：

So yes it's hard indulging him when he's

Describing his LPs

Or conversing with his plant

It takes work to not be alone

But I'm improving

And do I sense a change in you?

A little hint that you might be learning too

How to be not alone

The open road a vast unknown

But look at us we're not alone
