Story Behind The Song
She is a mixture of different women that I've known in my life and people I've seen in places where I imagined their lives being lonely and unfulfilled. They are older and somewhere inside of them, they still pray for some tenderness.
Song Description
This song is about the part of all women I think, that feels empty inside, women can be very in touch with their lack, especially when it comes to love and relationships. This woman picks me up, she's a good stop-over for any man who's looking for a sexual encounter but no complications. But she secretly hopes inside that she will find love and she's filled with sadness and loneliness and she puts herself in dangerous situations because deep inside, she feels unworthy. I hope she finds love.

Lyrics
Don't go, don't leave me alone, don't go
Down down dirty dust roads
Pit stops along the way to nowhere
I was good at procuring friends
If you know what I mean
I knew how to turn a cheek
Catch an eye, no need to speak
And I was fast at breaking bonds
If you know what I mean
Chorus:
Come along, come along, come and see epic loneliness
See the freak show of a woman bent
On the edge of her own self-destruction
Ready to jump where there's no net
Come along, come along, now we're living in the moment
Dancing to the beat of our beating hearts
By the time we're done and you've had your share of closeness
As you close the door, I fall apart
So I walk through back alleyways
Sunglasses on I'm in darkness and shade
Time is taking it's toll on me
If you know what I mean
Chorus:
Come along, come along, come and see epic loneliness
See the freak show of a woman bent
On the edge of her own self-destruction
Ready to jump where there's no net
Come along, come along, now we're living in the moment
Dancing to the beat of our beating hearts
By the time we're done and you've had your share of closeness
As you close the door, I fall apart
Don't go, don't leave me alone, don't go
