Lyrics
So what if I don't have a lot to talk about?
Expressing indifference to having a lot to talk about.
I shove my mouth and keep it locked until it comes
Choosing to keep silent until something significant is said.
And what if I don't ever want to leave my house?
Contemplating the desire to stay indoors and avoid social activities.
Stay on the couch while all my friends are going out
Preferring to stay at home while friends go out.
Alone
Emphasizing the idea of being alone.
You should be alone
Suggesting that being alone is appropriate and even preferable.
Yeah, you should be alone
-You should be alone with me
-We could be alone
Acknowledging the possibility of being alone but cautioning against getting too low emotionally.
Yeah, we could be alone
-But never get too low on me
-I make the journey down the hall back to my room
Describing a journey back to solitude, avoiding social pressures and expectations.
And kill more time, and let it rot inside its tomb (inside its tomb)
-See I ain't want to climb some social ladder too
-Some Shanghai-La's that all the cool kids will abuse
-Alone
Repeating the theme of being alone but emphasizing emotional balance.
You should be alone
-Yeah, you should be alone
-You should be alone with me
-We could be alone
-Yeah, we could be alone
-But never get too low on me
-We could be alone together
Introducing the possibility of being alone together with someone else.
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Expressing a sense of being a loner and falling in love with the idea of being alone.
I'm loner, now I'm in love with you alone
-Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Come be a loner, be in love with me alone
-Oh oh oh oh oh
Repeating the concept of being alone.
You should be alone
Reiterating the theme of being alone but cautioning against emotional lows.
Yeah, you should be alone
-You should be alone with me
-We could be alone
-Yeah, we could be alone
-But never get too low on me
-You should be alone
Continuing to express the idea of being alone but emphasizing emotional balance in relationships.
Yeah, you should be alone
-You should be alone with me
-We could be alone
-Yeah, we could be alone
-But never get too low on me
