Alone Again
Alyssa Reid Geat. Jump Smoker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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?

I sit back and reminisce
It hurts to think about it all
We was on top of the world

Whoever thought that we would fall?

Standing by the phone
Alone, ignoring your call
I feel like spider man
You got me flying off of the wall

I ain't wanna leave
But still I had to go
'Cause what good is a rainbow
Without my pot of gold?

And now your beds empty
And your pillow's cold
You never realized the love
Until my love was gone, yeah

When you said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you

Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you (Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?

The phone call
Can you stop the free fall?
Can you be the reason
I can see beyond the lies
If I keep holding on?

I hear you (Hear you)
Can you stop the screaming? (Screaming)
Did you stop believing?
I could feel you letting go
I can't be alone tonight

When you said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you

Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?

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

And I'm hoping that you know that

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you (Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone

How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Alone Again" by Alyssa Reid and Jump Smokers is a heart-wrenching song about a relationship that has ended. It is essentially about the feeling of being alone and the longing to get back with someone who used to be an essential part of our lives. The singer reflects on the time they had together and the pain of losing that person, the difficulty in reaching out to them, and the desperation of wanting to rekindle the relationship.

The opening lines, "Till 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?" captures the essence of the song. It reflects the realization that everything was fine before the other person came into their life, but now that they are gone, the singer feels lost and does not know how to cope. The lines, "I hear you (Hear you) / Can you stop the screaming? (Screaming) / Did you stop believing? / I could feel you letting go," is an attempt by the singer to appeal to the other person to come back and stop the pain of being alone.

The chorus repeats the line, "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?" reminiscent of a haunting cry of someone who is profoundly lonely and wants nothing more than to be reunited with the person who has left their life.

Til now, I always got by on my own
I used to be independent, but now I need you.

I never really cared until I met you
I didn't know how to love until you came into my life.

And now it chills me to the bone
The thought of losing you scares me to my core.

How do I get you alone?
I want to be with you all by myself.

I sit back and reminisce
I think about our past together.

It hurts to think about it all
Our memories bring me pain now.

We was on top of the world
We used to have it all.

Whoever thought that we would fall?
No one could have predicted our downfall.

Standing by the phone
Waiting for you to call me.

Alone, ignoring your call
I'm choosing to isolate myself.

I feel like spider man
Thinking of you makes me feel like a superhero.

You got me flying off of the wall
My emotions are running high and uncontrollable.

I ain't wanna leave
I didn't want to go.

But still I had to go
Leaving was the only option.

'Cause what good is a rainbow
What's the point of beauty if I don't have you to share it with?

Without my pot of gold?
Without our love?

And now your beds empty
You're not here beside me anymore.

And your pillow's cold
There's no warmth left from your body.

You never realized the love
You took our love for granted.

Until my love was gone, yeah
You didn't know what you had until it was gone.

When you said I could move on and go
You gave me permission to leave.

You said I'm weak and it shows
You believe that leaving means I'm not strong enough to stay.

I couldn't go on without you
Life without you isn't worth living.

Now I'm sitting in this house alone
I'm alone in this cold, empty house.

Wondering why I left home
Questioning my decision to leave.

And I'm hoping that you know that
I want you to understand how I'm feeling.

The phone call
Answering the phone could change everything.

Can you stop the free fall?
Can you stop us from falling apart?

Can you be the reason
Can you be the one to make things right?

I can see beyond the lies
I want to see the truth in our relationship.

If I keep holding on?
Is there still hope for us?

I hear you (Hear you)
I'm listening to you.

Can you stop the screaming? (Screaming)
Can we stop fighting and start communicating?

Did you stop believing?
Are you losing faith in us?

I could feel you letting go
I sense that you're giving up on us.

I can't be alone tonight
I don't want to be alone anymore.

I wonder where you are tonight
I miss you and don't know where you are.

No answer on the telephone
You're not answering my calls.

And the night goes by so very slow
Time passes slowly without you here.

Whoa, I hope that it won't end though, alone
I'm scared of losing you and being alone.
