[Verse 1]
In the summer time
I've never felt this way
I can feel my mind drifting astray
Sitting on the beach in Barcelona alone
You're probably somewhere sittin'
With those thoughts of yours
Painting pictures of a tall closed door
Would it really be so wrong to come and meet me in Rome?
[Chorus]
'Cause I was gonna
Yeah, I was gonna show you the world
There's so much for us to see
It was supposed to be you and me
But we got this disharmony
But now I gotta go it alone
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I was gonna show you the world
Now who am I supposed to show it to?
[Verse 2]
And I'm in Amsterdam at this coffee shop
Chose the finest one on the whole damn block

And all the tourists arе taking photographs

And I'm just sitting here stoned staring at your photo

There's so much for us to see
It was supposed to be you and me
But we got this disharmony
But now I gotta go it alone

I know that that won't do me right, no
[Chorus]
'Cause I was gonna
I was gonna show you the world
There's so much for us to see
It was supposed to be you and me
But we got this disharmony
And now I gotta go it alone
And i don't know what I'm gonna do
'Cause I was gonna show you the world
Oh
Yeah, I was gonna show you the world
Baby, I just wanna show you the world
Now who am I supposed to show it to?
The World: Alone was written by Ben Roberts & Sam Williams.
The World: Alone was produced by Jaren Johnston.
Sam Williams released The World: Alone on Wed Oct 21 2020.
