Alone Together
Dan + Shay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were sitting by yourself
Dropping limes in a Corona
Like you're trying to get over somebody else
It's funny how your story sounds a little like mine
Oh, cause' I've been at a table
With a bottle peeling labels to pass the time
Singing them sad up songs all night
We can say goodbye, just head home
But, if we're going to be alone
We should be alone together
Kissing over there in the corner
Where nobody else can see
Keeping each other company
We should be alone together
Leaning up against my car door
Parked outside on the street
Where it's just you and me
We should be alone together
I couldn't help but notice
You could use another drink
Yeah, I don't wanna leave ya
And it's two for one Tequila so what you think?
We can be blue as a neon light
Singing them sad up songs all night
We can say goodbye, just head home
But, if we're going to be alone
We should be alone together
Kissing over there in the corner
Where nobody else can see
Keeping each other company
We should be alone together
Leaning up against my car door
Parked outside on the street
Where it's just you and me
We should be alone together
We should be alone together
We should be alone together, oh yeah
We should be alone together
Over there in the corner
Where nobody else can see
We should be alone together
Kissing over there in the corner
Where nobody else can see
Keeping each other company
We should be alone together
Leaning up against my car door
Parked outside on the street
Where it's just you and me
We should be alone together
We should be alone together
We should be alone together, oh yeah
We should be alone together
The song Alone Together by Dan + Shay is about two people who have recently been through a heartbreak and find themselves sitting alone at a bar. The singer couldn't help but notice the other person who was dropping limes in their Corona, trying to get over somebody else. As they start talking, the singer realizes that they both have a similar story of heartbreak. They decide that instead of being alone, they should be "alone together" and keep each other company. The song talks about how they can be sad and blue and sing sad songs all night, but they don't have to be alone.
The chorus suggests that they should find a place where nobody else can see them and be together. They should kiss in the corner, lean up against the car door parked outside on the street, where it's just the two of them. The two share a moment of holding onto each other and escaping their pasts. The song portrays the idea that two people can come together and find comfort in sharing their pain and company.
Overall, the song tackles the theme of heartbreak and how people can relate and support each other. It suggests the idea of being together, even if it's just for a moment, can ease the pain and help one move forward.

I couldn't help but notice
I observed something that caught my attention
You were sitting by yourself
You were alone and looked a bit sad
Dropping limes in a Corona
You were trying to add some flavor to your drink
Like you're trying to get over somebody else
You seem to be trying to forget a past relationship
It's funny how your story sounds a little like mine
Our situations have similarities
'Cause I've been at a table with a bottle peeling labels to pass the time
I too have been trying to distract myself with a drink to forget my problems
We can be blue as a neon light
We can both be feeling down and depressed
Singing them sad up songs all night
We can sing along to sorrowful songs for a while
We can say goodbye, just head home
We can both leave and go our separate ways
But, if we're going to be alone
If we are both going to be by ourselves
We should be alone together
Let's be alone, but together
Kissing over there in the corner where nobody else can see
Let's share a private moment in a discrete location
Keeping each other company
Spending time together and providing emotional support
Leaning up against my car door parked outside on the street
Being physically close and enjoying each other's company outdoors
Where it's just you and me
Creating an intimate setting for just the two of us
You could use another drink
You seem like you could use another beverage
Yeah, I don't wanna leave ya
I don't want to abandon you
And it's two for one Tequila so what you think?
We can get a good deal on drinks, should we have another round?
