Lyrics The Alone, Together - Quiet Company

The Alone, Together

«So tell me if you still believe in love like you used to»
Well, I don’t know if I want to
It just doesn’t make much sense in light of current events
«So you’re just moving your allegiances to bitterness?!»
No, I didn’t say that
You’re putting words in my mouth
And I’ve got enough of my own that I need to get out
What I mean is that I’m done singing songs about love
Like I know the first thing about getting along
It’s in my head
And I can’t seem to shake it!
Oh-oh-oh-oh
It’s in my head
«So tell me, don’t you worry you’ll end up dying alone?»
Of course, well are you saying that you think that you won’t?
Well, I’ve got some bad news: Death is coming for you!
And you will be alone when you shake his hand
I think I know what you mean
I think I know what you mean
It’s really living alone that’s the nightmare
I wanna fuck every woman, wanna kill every man
But I’m finding the whole thing too exhausting to care
«Get it through your head!»
x4
«Your love is dead!»
x3
And maybe I could admit
That I am so full of shit
What I really want is that white picket fence
What my body was built for
What I thought that I had
And maybe I’ve seen too many movies
But I just can’t forget
How the idea used to move me
How it would fill up my chest
And I’ve got to take it apart for myself
I know I’ll never be happy
If I am waiting for somebody else
To come along and complete me
She was a song in my memory
I forgot how to sing when I wrote it down
Now its every lyric escapes me
I don’t think it’ll ever come back to me now x3
I don’t think that she’ll ever come back to me
