Red, Purple, Pink/It's Okay To Be Alone

We've been waiting for a miracle
Hanging out in the lion's den
Fighting giants with skipping stones
And I have never felt more alone

We've been waiting for a miracle
Forty days and forty nights
Wishing water would turn into wine
Wishing more than anything that she was mine

I'm sleeping in the belly of a whale
And I'm dreaming in the belly of a whale

We've been waiting for a miracle
Treading water just to see if it will hold
Burning bushes and speechless men
Making the same mistakes again

We've been waiting for a miracle
A dozen drinks in the lion's den
Loose women and wishing wells
If I'm alive I can't even tell

I'm sleeping in the belly of a whale
And I'm dreaming in the belly of a whale

And then I opened up my eyes
To see it there
Just sitting across from me
With bright shining eyes
And just a couple of words
About her family
Yeah, ten brothers and sisters
And it brought me back to life
And just like Lazarus of old
There in the car parked moonlight
It never looked so beautiful
It never looked so beautiful

So come out Lazarus
And come out Lazarus
Yeah, so come out Lazarus

It gives me hope for this world
She gives me hope for this world
That there's still someone who feels
That there's still someone who's real
And there's still so much beauty left to find

Yeah, so come out Lazarus
Oh, and come out Lazarus
Yeah, so come out Lazarus

---------------------------------------------------------------

Pick your face up off the ground
There's no reason to feel so down - tonight
And put your heart back in your chest
Close your eyes and try to get some rest - tonight

It's okay to be alone
It's okay to be alone
It's okay to be alone
Yeah, you're okay
Yeah, you're okay

Dry your beat up eyes
You've cried enough for the both of us - tonight
And kill your sad, sad songs
They only bring you down
They only bring you down
They only bring you back to me

It's okay to be alone
Yeah, it's okay to be alone
You don't need a hand to hold you up
Yeah, you're okay
Yeah, you're okay

'Cause you would hate these cigarettes
And you would hate these cigarettes
Burning down my nose
Yeah, and burning down my throat

Yeah, it's okay to be alone
Yeah, it's okay to be alone
Yeah, it's okay to be alone
Yeah, it's okay to be alone

Both of them are by a band called Dame, and they're both on the only album the band put out. You can get the album from their label for only $2 here:
