Lost Without Each Other
Hanson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ran into your best friend today
Twelve nights since you ran away
I asked about you and she said, can't say, can't say
I'm feeling lonely and it seems to stay
It's been a while since I felt that way
Well, I can tell you there's no room to play this game

All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?

Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other

I didn't mean to start the last big fight
You never should have hung up that night
All I want to do is make things right
Make it right
Listen, with all the choices that we chose to make
And all the promises we chose to break
We were busy making big mistakes yesterday

All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?

Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without

I can tell you one thing
We're not better on our own
I'm tired of running from my feelings
Are you listening?

All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?

Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're

The lyrics of Hanson's "Lost Without Each Other" express the yearning of a person for their significant other, who has left them without a word. The song starts with the singer meeting their ex-partner's best friend, hoping to get some insight into why their partner left.

They acknowledge that they miss their partner's kisses and can't help but wonder if their partner feels the same.


The chorus of the song is a plea to their partner not to pretend that everything is okay and that they're not lonely without each other. The singer cannot bear the thought of being without their partner and wants to make it work. They are willing to admit that they made mistakes in the past and just want the chance to reconcile and make things right. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that they are not better off alone and are tired of running from their feelings.

Hanson - Lost Without Each Other lyrics :

I ran into your best friend today
Twelve nights since you ran away
I asked about you and she said, can't say, can't say
I'm feeling lonely and it seems to stay
It's been a while since I felt that way
Well I can tell you there's no room to play this game

All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?

Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Say baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other

I didn't mean to start the last big fight
You never should have hung up that night
When all I want to do is make things right
Make it right
Listen, with all the choices that we chose to make
And all the promises we chose to break
We were busy making big mistakes yesterday

All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?

Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight

When you're lonely
Say baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without

I can tell you one thing
We're not better on our own
I'm tired of running from my feelings
Are you listening?

All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?

Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Say baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other...

It's hard for me to put into words just how much I love this song. The beat, the arrangements, the lyrics... it's perfection! I guess this only has 90K views because it was only uploaded on youtube some years after it was released, but still no excuse, people! I mean... are you listening?

Mandy Thomas

Hanson is very underrated!! They deserved more notoriety back in the day.
