Sittin' Here Alone (Tryin' Not To)

Optimistic Country Rock love song about moving on from the loneliness and enjoying young love with the hope of second chances with real love. LYRICS below SITTIN’ HERE ALONE written by matt orewiler Can you see the lonely in my smile I can fake it for a while But no matter how I try to fill the void It’s just neon noise SITTIN’ HERE ALONE…trying not to go home Cause home is like a silent hell One last chance to save myself So I get the courage to ask your name And you genuinely do the same Holding onto hope Turns out we were both SITTIN’ HERE ALONE…trying not to go home I made you laugh and I love your smile Sharing chips and salsa- you like the mild Conversation heads a little bit deeper Guess it’s a good thing we were SITTIN’ HERE ALONE…trying not to go home It’s quite a step so I’ll help you up In the passenger side of my pickup truck Take you to my favorite ice cream drive through Park under the full moon SITTIN’ HERE ALONE…we’re trying not to go home Glancing over I see how cute You’re licking your spoon as you finish your scoop I’m giving into the urge to kiss you So that’s what I lean in to do SITTIN’ HERE ALONE…both trying not to go home We were begging time to accelerate To the weekend for our next date Holding hands walking in the summer breeze A picnic under a weeping willow tree We could talk for an hour sharing our hearts Staying past dark watching shooting stars They seem to be begging us to kiss Like magnets attracting we can’t resist SITTIN’ HERE ALONE…trying not to go home It may be too soon to call it love But we’re trying not to mess it up We’re liking where this could lead to Taking the long way home Tryin’ not to © 2025 written by matt orewiler [email protected]
