Happier Alone
Austin Meade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you ever dance alone?
Do you wish that I was somehow, someway, somewhere closer to home?
Does it ever cross your mind?
You could be happy alone
Instead of always waiting, pacing, saying 'I Love You' through the phone
Happier alone
Happier alone
You could be happier alone
I always think about the future
I know I'm gonna miss her
One day she's gonna realize that real life as my wife has nothing to show
I should probably take time
I should probably go
Back over the state line, tonight, to find what I already know
You could be happier alone
Happier alone
Happier alone
You could be happier alone
You could be happier alone
Happier alone
You could be happier alone
You could be happier
You could be happier
You could be happier alone
Happier alone
Happier alone
You could be happier alone
(Happier alone)
(Happier alone)
(Happier alone)
(Happier alone)
The song Happier Alone by Austin Meade is about a couple who are in a long-distance relationship. The singer is asking his partner if she ever feels alone, turns the lights down, and dances alone. He wonders if she wishes he was closer to home. He then suggests that being alone may actually make her happier instead of always waiting, pacing, and saying 'I Love You' through the phone.
The chorus of the song reiterates the message that his partner could be happier alone. The singer then reflects on his own situation, saying that he constantly thinks about the future, but he knows he's going to miss her. He then suggests that he should probably take some time and go back over the state line to find what he already knows. The song ends with the repeated message that being happier alone is possible.
The lyrics of this song could resonate with many people who are in long-distance relationships. The singer recognizes that he is not physically present with his partner, and he wonders if being alone is actually better for her. It's a common feeling among couples who are separated by distance to question the state of their relationship and whether it's worth continuing.
