Nicole Atkins - Together We're Both Alone lyrics

I am raising a flag

I am just too tired now to fight

It’s white and it’s waving

Can’t we save this for another night

I used to be afraid, but now I crave the quiet

Together we are both alone, but I don’t mind

I’ll dream of something

To try and make us alright

Make us alright

Baby, put your arms down

They’re machines that can’t be fixed no more

And when the alarm sounds

I’ll be right here waiting at your door

We’ll sit up on the bed for a while

Together we are both alone, but we don’t mind

We’ll dream of something to try and make us all right

But with all this trouble

When I close my eyes, you never go away

I’ve tried everything, still you won’t change

Is it better if you go?

But the ending doesn’t matter

One hundred days, and then the suffering stops

Running faster through this

Can help to save your heart before it drops

And you didn’t even say I didn’t try

Together we are both alone, but I don’t mind

I dreamt of everything,

I tried to make this all right

It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right (repeat)

Together we're both alone, but I don't mind (repeat)
