Oh, Ashley - I should have known your song right off - it's called "Circle," but Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians. You can find the lyrics here (click). It's from the album "Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars." Didn't she get married to Paul Simon? I liked a lot of her early stuff.

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
On you touching ground with us but
I quit I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems and
I quit I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems

And being alone is the, is the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye

Everything is temporary anyway
When the streets are wet
The colors slip into the sky
But I don't know why that means you and I are
that means you and
I quit, I give up
nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems
I quit, I give up
nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems

And being alone is the, is the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself nobody else can say

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around


(I believe the songwriter is Edie Brickell)
