I dare you to love me
The pretty and the ugly
If you’re alone, I’ll make it better
We could be alone together
Oh, I could really like it
Maybe we could carve it in the woods
Oh, Florence in the spring time
Love me in the meantime, wish you would
But if we’re all alone in a crowded room
Maybe we could be alone, just me and you
Baby, if you jump, then I’ll jump too
I dare you to love me
The pretty and the ugly
If you’re alone, I’ll make it better
We could be alone together
Oh, strangers in the nighttime
There’s never a right time to say “Hello”
Yeah, everyone’s your best friend ’til you get to know them
But I know you
And if we’re all alone in a crowded room
Maybe we could be alone, just me and you
Baby, if you jump, then I’ll jump too
I dare you to love me
The pretty and the ugly
If you’re alone, I’ll make it better
We could be alone together
I dare you to love me
The pretty and the ugly
If you’re alone, I’ll make it better
We could be alone
We could be alone
We could be alone together
Exploring Connection and Vulnerability
“Alone Together” by Sabrina Carpenter is a heartfelt reflection on intimacy and the courage it takes to love someone, flaws and all. The lyrics invite a partner to embrace both the “pretty and the ugly,” suggesting a desire for genuine connection beyond surface-level attraction. Carpenter paints romantic imagery—like carving initials in the woods or being in Florence in springtime—contrasted with the realities of feeling isolated even in a crowd. The repeated dare to love and the promise to “make it better” if the other is lonely encapsulate the yearning for mutual vulnerability, trust, and shared solitude that only true companionship can offer.
