Are We Alone? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You’re disconnected
Staring down at your phone
Some company you are
Across the table
In that unflattering glow
How did you get so far?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Break my back just to make conversation
Pulling teeth just to ask how your day went
You’re disconnected
An inconsiderate mess
You've got me all to yourself

[Chorus]
But are we alone?
Your eyes are staring vacantly
Oh, are you even listening at all?
There's no one here but you and me
So tell me, would you rather be alone?
Would you rather be alone?

[Verse 2]
I see you hiding
Behind a flickering screen
What did you come here for?
And then you light up
Who's keeping you company?
Don't wanna dance in the dark

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Break my back just to get your attention
Pulling teeth in formidable fashion
Why are you hiding?
An inconsiderate mess
You've got me all to yourself

[Chorus]
But are we alone?
Your eyes are staring vacantly
Oh, are you even listening at all?
There's no one here but you and me
So tell me, would you rather be alone?
Would you rather be alone?
Would you rather be alone?

[Bridge]
Don't lie to me darling
Would you rather be alone?

[Outro]
It's a screen, it's a life
It's you, it's me
It's everything

What did COIN say about "Are We Alone?"?

“That’s a song for myself. I’m so obsessed with what I’m missing — the fear of missing out — and it’s a mantra for myself to slow down and be in the moment. I was thinking that I’m never actually alone when I’m alone. If I’m going to be alone, I want to be alone. It was very cathartic to write that...
