Alone With You Lyrics

We can lock away the bad memories together
Close the doors to the past forever
Watching you touch
We're past this much
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I can't always remember what I say
I can't always take it having to pay
Watching you walk
You know you're really attractive
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I know it's hard when you have tried
When the conversations terror, you have tied
Making out you still don't know
All I have is alcohol so let me go
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight
I'm alone with you tonight

What did Paul Kelly say about "Alone With You"?

Genius Answer

I love the bittersweetness of the song, its minor-major ambiguity, its melancholy wrapped in pure rock ’n’ roll joy.

I hear the words ‘alone with you’ two ways: ‘We’re alone together, just us’ or ‘I’m with you but I’m still alone.’ Jeremy carries both those meanings in his singing. That’s the genius of the song. And there’s genius in the guitar break, too. A brilliant, yearning modulation of chords that lifts off to pure transcendence.
