Alone Together Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
I don't know where you're going
But do you got room for one more troubled soul?
I don't know where I'm going
But I don't think I'm coming home
And I said, "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead"
This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end


[Chorus 2]
Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah!)
We could stay young forever (Yeah!)
Scream it from the top of your lungs (Yeah!)
Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah!)
We can stay young forever (Yeah!)

We'll stay young, young, young, young, young
Uh, uh, uh, uh-oh, uh, uh, uh, uh-oh
Uh, uh, uh, uh-oh, uh, uh, uh, uh-oh

[Verse 1]
Cut me off, I lost my track, it's not my fault, I'm a maniac
It's not funny anymore, no it's not
My heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's broken
Do you wanna feel beautiful, do you wanna, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm outside the door, invite me in
So we can go back and play pretend

I'm on deck, I'm up next
Tonight I'm high as a private jet, 'cause
[Chorus 1]
I don't know where you're going
But do you got room for one more troubled soul?
I don't know where I'm going
But I don't think I'm coming home
And I said, "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead"
This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end


[Chorus 2]
Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah!)
We could stay young forever (Yeah!)
Scream it from the top of your lungs (yeah!)
Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah!)
We can stay young forever (Yeah!)

We'll stay young, young, young, young, young
Uh, uh, uh, uh-oh, uh, uh, uh, uh-oh
Uh, uh, uh, uh-oh, uh, uh, uh, uh-oh

[Bridge]
My heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's broken
Do you wanna feel beautiful, do you wanna, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm outside the door, invite me in
So we can go back and play pretend

I'm on deck, I'm up next
Tonight I'm high as a private jet, yeah
[Chorus 2]
(Yeah!) Let's be alone together (Yeah!)
We could stay young forever (Yeah!)
Scream it from the top of your lungs
Say, yeah, (Yeah!) let's be alone together (Yeah)
We could stay young forever (Yeah!)
We'll stay young-yo-yo-young, I-I-

[Chorus 1]
I don't know where you're going
But do you got room for one more troubled soul?

I don't know where I'm going
But I don't think I'm coming home

And I said, "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead"
This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end

About

Genius Annotation

This song is about a relationship that may or may not have been supposed to happen. The two appear to be different but are actually quite the same.

Notice the juxtaposition in the title of the phrase being ‘alone together’ so, in fact, the two are not alone.

Pete has been known to mention in concert how no matter how lonely we get, music will always be there for us.

“Alone Together” was released as the band’s third overall single from Save Rock and Roll and was later certified platinum by the RIAA.

What did Fall Out Boy say about "Alone Together"?
Genius Answer

I remember that Pete Wentz, at the Boyz of Zummer tour in St. Louis, said something along the lines of: “Music is always there for us. My music was Punk Rock music– and now there are bands like us. Rock music never really, truly, dies.”

Do you know the photographer of the single cover?
Genius Answer

The single artwork was shot by Los Angeles based photographer, Pamela Littky. Her work often reflects an intentionally less glamorous but captivating side of American culture.

Pamela first shot Fall Out Boy early on in her career for their 2005 album, From Under the Cork Tree. She has since worked with them on numerous occasions, and considers the American Beauty / American Psycho cover to be her “number one all-time favorite” shoot.
