The Strokes - alone, together

화자는 끝나버린 관계에서 느낀 상실감과, 사랑의 복잡한 감정들을 회상하며 과거로 돌아가고 싶어한다
일상의 불확실성과, 함께하는 상대의 영향을 통해 자신의 변화를 성찰하고, 사랑의 다양성을 인정하는 내용을 담고 있다

No choice now, it's too late
Let him go, he gave up
I give up...
Lisa said "Take time for me"
Dropping him down to his knees
Oh chest down

Take me away, see I've got to explain
Things that have changed in such a permanent way
Life seems unreal, can we go back to your place?
Ah you drink too much, makes me drink just the same

People tried, felt so right
Giving themselves good advice
Looking down sometimes felt nice

He knows it's justifed to kill to survive
He and ten dollars makes more dead than alive
Lets suck more blood, let's run 3 hours a day
And when it's over, then I don't care cause

I am with you, now I've got to explain
Things that have changed in such a permanent way
Life seems unreal, can we go back to your place
You drink too much, makes me drink just the same

The first time it happened too fast
The second time, I thought it would last
We all like it a little different...
