I Think We're Alone Now
The Click 5 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" by The Click 5 is a song about two people who are together and feel like they're the only ones in the world at that moment. The first verse talks about how adults tell children to behave and watch how they play, but they don't understand how the children feel. The chorus then explains how the two people are trying to get away from the rest of the world and into the night. They only have each other, and the beating of their hearts is the only sound.
The second verse talks about how the two people have to hide what they're doing because of how others might judge them. They don't understand the feelings that the two people have, so they have to run away to be alone. The chorus then repeats again, emphasizing the fact that they feel like they're the only two people in the world.
Overall, the song has a romantic feel to it, as it talks about two people who are running away from others to be alone and only have each other. The lyrics could also be interpreted as a commentary on people who feel misunderstood or marginalized, and how they have to hide their true selves from the rest of the world.

Children behave
They expect us to behave like children
That's what they say when we're together
We're being watched and judged by others when we're together
And watch how you play
People are paying close attention to our actions and behavior
They don't understand and so we're
Others don't understand us and our relationship, so we have to hide it
Runnin' just as fast as we can
We're trying to escape from the scrutiny of others
Holdin' on to one another's hand
We're relying on each other for emotional support
Tryin' to get away into the night
We're seeking refuge in the darkness of the night
And then you put your arms around me
We're finding comfort in each other's embrace
And we tumble to the ground

And then you say
You express that we are finally alone
I think we're alone now
We believe that we are finally free from others' prying eyes
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
We don't see anyone else nearby, so we feel safe
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Our love for each other is the only thing that matters in the moment
Look at the way
We're acknowledging how others are perceiving us
We gotta hide what we're doing
We're concealing our relationship from others to avoid judgment
What would they say
We're considering how others would react if they found out about us
