We're Both Alone
Rocketship Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I wanna do
Is be with you
And hold you near
And lose the fear, growing in me

Each and every day
I'll find a way
To need you more
Than the day before, our last meeting

When the morning comes we'll sigh
And avoid each other's eyes
And never wonder why
We live lonely lives

All I wanna do
Is be with you
And hold you near
And lose the fear, growing in me

When the morning comes we'll sigh
And avoid each other's eyes
And never wonder why
We live lonely lives

When the morning comes we'll sigh
And avoid each other's eyes




And never wonder why
We live lonely lives

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rocketship's song We're Both Alone are about a yearning to be with someone and overcome the fear of being alone. The singer repeats throughout the song that all they want is to be with the person and hold them close, to feel secure and loved. However, the second verse reveals a sense of sadness as the singer admits that regardless of how close they get, they will still wake up lonely and sigh, avoiding each other's eyes. The fear of being alone is growing inside them because they know that even in their togetherness, they still feel lonely. The song captures the melancholy feeling of wanting someone so badly but realizing that just having them near isn't enough to erase the feeling of loneliness.


The chorus is a statement of desire for the person - a desire to be held close and comforted, to find a way to need them more each day. But the final repetition of the chorus is more resigned, almost like a lament - acknowledging that even with the person nearby, they'll never stop sighing and avoiding each other's eyes. Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the fear of being alone and the yearning for connection.


Line by Line Meaning

All I wanna do
I desire nothing more


Is be with you
Than to be near you


And hold you near
Embrace your form closely


And lose the fear, growing in me
Release the anxiety that is within me


Each and every day
Every passing moment


I'll find a way
I will discover a method


To need you more
To crave your presence more


Than the day before, our last meeting
Than I did the last time we met


When the morning comes we'll sigh
At the start of the day, we'll exhale slowly


And avoid each other's eyes
We will elude each other's gaze


And never wonder why
Yet question ourselves never


We live lonely lives
Our existence is solitary


When the morning comes we'll sigh
At the start of the day, we'll exhale slowly


And avoid each other's eyes
We will elude each other's gaze


And never wonder why
Yet question ourselves never


We live lonely lives
Our existence is solitary

"Powerlessly" I really truly think, instead of "our last meeting". Both work. But I hear "Powerlessly" so much more than "Our last meeting". Has been driving me crazy for years. Wish I could ask the band \ songwriter themselves.
