Lyrics

Alone
words and music by Jayson Dyall  2014/2020

[Instrumental Intro]

 [Verse Rap]
I grew up in the old South Brooklyn streets
That there alone was an awesome feat
Getting into trouble and into fights
Learned the hard way between wrong and right
Playing stickball with my brothers and friends
A time in my life I wished would never end
Growing up is a part of life, you see
Suddenly, my childhood just ceased to be

 (Verse Rap)
I was known as a loner in my teens
My head was full of ideas and future dreams
That's when love first came into my heart
Only to be the first to break it apart
You live, and you learn from your mistakes
The rites of passage make you strong, or you break
The experiences we go through, bad and good
But in retrospect, I'd go back if I could

 [Chorus]
When I'm all alone, I look back fondly on my younger days
Wish I could go back home; now it all seems like a lifetime away

 [Verse Rap]
The Southside Williamsburg was my town
I had a lot of good friends there, all around
Every Christmas and New Year's, we'd all meet
At the Acosta and Rodriguez home on Grand Street
In the blink of an eye, I was now a grown man
With a job and playing in my first rock band
Got married, had kids, then we moved away
In the long run, I wish that I had stayed

 [Verse Rap]
Today, this crazy world has changed so much
We've all become distant and out of touch
Social media addicts and racial unrest
The human race is sadly losing God's test
Humanity and brotherhood mean nothing today
No one realizes that we've lost our way
And it doesn't bother people to live like this
So my mind escapes just to reminisce

 (Chorus)
When I'm all alone, I look back fondly on my younger days
Wish I could go back home, now it all seems like a lifetime away

 [Bridge -Sung: DUET with Female Vocalist]
Life was simpler back then
No worries, no drama, just fun with friends
How I wish I could go back in time
Now all I have are these memories
And it all means so much to me
It will be forever etched in my mind

[Instrumental Break]

 (Chorus)
When I'm all alone, I look back fondly on my younger days
Wish I could go back home; now it all seems like a lifetime away

[Refrain Verse Rap]
Wish I could go back. Wish I could go back.
Wish I could go back. And be back home.
Wish I could go back. Wish I could go back.
Wish I could go back. And be back home.

 (Chorus)
When I'm all alone, I look back fondly on my younger days
Wish I could go back home, Now it all seems like a lifetime away
When I'm all alone, I look back fondly on my younger days
Wish I could go back home, Now it all seems like a lifetime away

[Instrumental To Fade Out]
