Lonely Together Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Treating you well, but I'm caught in the middle
I caught the edge of a knife and it hurts just a little
Yeah, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know that I can be your friend
Yes, my head or my heart, and I'm caught in the middle
[Pre-Chorus]
My hands are tired, but not tired enough
You're the high that I can't give up
Oh lord, here we go
[Chorus]
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
At the bottom of a bottle you're the poison in the wine
And I know I can't change you and I, I won't change
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
[Post-Chorus/Drop]
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
[Verse 2]
Eyes my shirt, and it feels like the first time (ohh)
Before the rush to my blood hurts too much and we flatline (ohh)
Yeah, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know just how this ends
Now we're all messed up and it feels like the first time
[Chorus]
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
At the bottom of a bottle you're the poison in the wine
And I know I can't change you and I, I won't change
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
[Post-Chorus/Drop]
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
[Pre-Chorus]
My hands are tired, but not tired enough
You're the high that I can't give up
Oh lord, here we go
[Chorus]
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
At the bottom of a bottle you're the poison in the wine
And I know I can't change you and I, I won't change
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
[Post-Chorus/Drop]
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
A little less lonely now
(I can't change you and I, I won't change)
A little less lonely now
(I can't change you and I, I won't change)
A little less lonely now
Treating you well, but I'm caught in the middle
I caught the edge of a knife and it hurts just a little
Yeah, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know that I can be your friend
Yes, my head or my heart, and I'm caught in the middle
My hands are tired, but not tired enough
You're the high that I can't give up
Oh lord, here we go
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
At the bottom of a bottle you're the poison in the wine
And I know I can't change you and I, I won't change
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
Eyes my shirt, and it feels like the first time (ohh)
Before the rush to my blood hurts too much and we flatline (ohh)
Yeah, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know just how this ends
Now we're all messed up and it feels like the first time
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
At the bottom of a bottle you're the poison in the wine
And I know I can't change you and I, I won't change
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
My hands are tired, but not tired enough
You're the high that I can't give up
Oh lord, here we go
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
At the bottom of a bottle you're the poison in the wine
And I know I can't change you and I, I won't change
I might hate myself tomorrow, but I'm on my way tonight
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
A little less lonely now
(I can't change you and I, I won't change)
A little less lonely now
(I can't change you and I, I won't change)
A little less lonely now

So one interpretation is that it's about a relationship, but in retrospect given Avicii's (Tim's) troubles with drinking and recent death --RIP :(, it seems likely that it's about a bad relationship with alcohol. Literally: "at the bottom of the bottle you're the poison in the wine". And "You're the high that I can't give up" is about addiction. Reported he felt lonely touring non-stop and filled the void by partying and drinking.
This is about 2 people that love each other but can't be together. The song doesn't explain why but I like to think that they are both in relationships but have fallen in love with each other. So the main person in the song is going to tell the other person that they can't be together or be friends.The song goes on to describe the emotions that follow when you love someone but cant be with that person. Beautiful song!
i think its about he is trying to tell people in the song, that he having enough and are addicted to alcohol to be able to furfill his fans will to keep turne's and make music, and that he is about to end it all with the alcohol (his only friend) by "pouring blood" out of him with a sharp edge of the broken empty bottle of wine and that the bottle of wine is his "poison in his wine" and he want to end his life bechause of he is tired of all the tourne'ing and is therefore depressed. its so sad.
For me these song is about two persons that love each other, but are very different or are very toxic? “I know I can’t change you and I won’t change” they both have to change to have a good relationship but both of them don’t wan’t or cannot change, and that’s why it is “Let’s be lonely together” even though they can’t change and are not willing to change they love each other.
