Lonely Alone
Finding Company in Whiskey Melodies
Lyrics
I heard you say bartender make it strong
I heard someone asking the bartender to make a strong drink.
If I had to guess your lover's gone
It seems like the person is speculating that the listener's lover has left.
I don't know and you don't know me
There is a lack of familiarity between the speaker and the listener.
But there's no reason to be lonely alone
Despite not knowing each other well, there's no need for either to feel lonely.
Is this seat taken, do you like this song?
The speaker inquires about an available seat and the listener's musical preferences.
Do you tear up when it comes on?
Asking if the listener gets emotional when a particular song plays.
You know it's always done the same for me
Expressing a shared experience with the song, indicating a potential connection.
For there's no reason to be lonely alone
Reiterating that there's no reason for the listener to feel lonely.
How 'bout a friend that looks like me?
Suggesting the possibility of becoming friends.
A little gem, a little misery
Mentioning the idea of a mix of positive and negative experiences in the friendship.
We could use a little company
Expressing a desire for companionship.
Maybe that's what we could be
Proposing that they could find companionship in each other.
You've probably heard this line a thousand times
Acknowledging the familiarity of a common phrase but asserting a genuine connection.
But you seem like someone I have known
Wondering if the connection is due to shared experiences or the influence of alcohol.
Is it the whiskey or do you agree
Suggesting that being alone is unnecessary, possibly attributing it to the effects of whiskey.
There's no reason to be lonely alone
Reiterating the idea that there's no need for loneliness when together.
How 'bout a friend that looks like me?
Repeating the suggestion of friendship with the speaker.
A little gem, a little misery
Reemphasizing the mix of positive and negative aspects in potential companionship.
We could use a little company
Expressing the need for some form of company.
Maybe honey that's what we could be
Affirming the possibility of companionship between them.
Bartender say's it's closing time
The bartender announces closing time.
You'll go your way and I'll go mine
Anticipating that both individuals will go their separate ways.
Don't want you thinking that I'm easy
Clarifying that the speaker is not easily approachable or available.
There's no need to be lonely alone
Reiterating that there's no need for the listener to be lonely alone.
There's no reason to be lonely alone
Concluding that there's no reason for either person to feel lonely when alone.
