Alone
Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To do what’s best for me
Most nights sitting in a parked car
Reminiscing times
I got you we can go far
There’s something
About your ways that’s changed
Check back in a year you’ll see
You’ll take back what you said to me
Things change when you grow up in a small town
I used to give a fuck but I don’t really know now
Simple ways when i’d bike down the block
4 kids, cold days, just skipping some rocks
Most times it never feels the same
I can’t keep up while you’re playing these games
Change my ways, as i read this note
I can’t tell you this
But I love you she wrote
It’s time you take a step back
Realize that you would miss that
Stuck in jersey on the other side of the map
While you drink away your pain
Pretending that’ll fix that
Same school, same moves
Somethings gotta change soon
Been feeling so alone that nothing really gives a great mood
People tell you give it all that you got
Until you suffer some more, lie awake and rot
Long drives, faint days
I want to feel the rain
I want to know that someone out there’s gotta feel the same.
Stepping outside, first time today
Retrace my mind, clear my thoughts away

The second verse mentions growing up in a small town and how it changes things. The lyricist used to care a lot but now they aren't so sure. They mention feeling alone and wanting to find someone who feels the same. The last verse has a more positive outlook, as the lyricist talks about stepping outside to clear their thoughts and start anew.
Overall, the song is about the process of grieving and moving on from a relationship. It showcases the struggles that come with that, such as reminiscing about the past and feeling alone. However, it also has a message of hopefulness as the lyricist attempts to start anew and move forward with their life.

Stepping outside, first time today
Going outside for the first time today
Retrace my mind, clear my thoughts away
I am attempting to clear my mind and focus on the present moment

[Verse 1]
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh, I hope that it won't end though
Alone
[Chorus]
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
[Verse 2]
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was gonna tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
[Chorus]
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
[Outro]
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
Alone, alone

I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the phone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
