I Think We're Alone Now
Click Five (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand and so we're
Runnin' just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doing
What would they say
They don't understand and so we're
Runnin' just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say
I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
I think we're alone now
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
"I Think We're Alone Now" is a song by Click Five, and it's about two lovers who find themselves in a situation where they must keep their love a secret, as the people around them wouldn't approve it. The song begins with the line, "Children behave, that's what they say when we're together, and watch how you play." This line indicates that the lovers are young and inexperienced in love, and their behavior is scrutinized by others who don't understand their love.
The chorus of the song repeats the line, "I think we're alone now," suggesting that the lovers are trying to find private time away from the world, and they feel that there is no one around to stop them. They run as fast as they could, holding each other's hands, in an attempt to escape the watchful eyes of everyone, and once they are on their own, they find solace in each other's arms.
The line, "The beating of our hearts is the only sound," conveys the intimacy and privacy that the lovers are experiencing, further highlighting that what they have is special and unique, and it can only exist in such isolation. The song overall shows a beautiful and innocent love story, and the obstacles that young lovers face due to societal norms and beliefs.
