Nobody's Lonely Tonight
No Loneliness Tonight: Unspoken Desires and Pretenses
Lyrics
It’s getting late and they want us to leave
Expressing that it's getting late and there's pressure for them to leave.
You know by the way they stare
Noticing the attention they're receiving, possibly implying judgment or disapproval.
And girl just a word from you
Suggesting that a single word from the girl could prompt them to leave the current situation.
And we’ll be right out of here
Indicating readiness to leave based on the girl's decision or signal.
Girl you’re right, I can’t keep my hands from you
Acknowledging the difficulty of resisting physical attraction to the girl.
Tonight, I know that you don’t want me to
Acknowledging the girl's desire for physical intimacy tonight.
You could tell by the way that we talk
Observing that their conversation indicates an awareness of the likely outcome.
We both know how this will end
Both parties understanding the inevitable conclusion of their interaction.
It’s true it won’t really be love
Acknowledging that the connection won't be genuine love.
And yeah girl, we’ll both pretend
Admitting that both will pretend it's love despite the lack of genuine feelings.
Girl you’re right, I can’t keep my hands from you
Reiterating the difficulty in resisting physical attraction to the girl.
Tonight, I know that you don’t want me to
Acknowledging the girl's reluctance or reservations about physical intimacy tonight.
It just seems that nobody’s alone tonight
Observing that seemingly everyone is engaged or partnered tonight.
Nobody’s lonely but me
Expressing a feeling of loneliness despite others being in relationships.
Everybody’ asleep in somebody’s arms
Describing a scene where everyone is comfortably sleeping in someone else's arms.
C’mon and put yours around me
Inviting the girl to embrace him as well, seeking comfort or connection.
And girl you’re completely right, I can’t keep my hands from you
Acknowledging once again the difficulty in resisting physical attraction to the girl.
Tonight, I know that you don’t want me to
Acknowledging the girl's continued reluctance or reservations about physical intimacy tonight.
