Every Time
Yearning Echoes: Love Lost and Regret in 'Every Time'
Lyrics
Every time I think of you
Reflecting on thoughts of someone special
My stomach turns and the past cuts through
Feeling emotional distress and haunted by past memories
And every time I think I think of you
Recurring contemplation of the person in question
Every time I go to bed
Preparing for sleep, carrying the weight of unresolved issues
My head gets heavy with the words you said
Carrying the burden of impactful words before bedtime
And every time I dream I dream of you
Dreaming consistently about the person
I didn't love you like I could
Admitting to not fully expressing love as possible
Gave my heart and took it back
Engaging in a cycle of giving and retracting affection
I didn't love you like I could
Reiterating a failure to love to the fullest
Time didn't work the way it should
Time not aligning with expectations in the relationship
Wanting more and giving last
Desiring more while offering less
I didn't love you like I should
Acknowledging a deficiency in expressing love
Every time I get back home
Returning home triggers emotional turmoil
My heartbeat falters, fingers roam
Heartbeat falters, physically affected by emotions
And every time I wait I wait for you
Waiting with anticipation for the person
Every time I leave to go
Leaving and grappling with uncomfortable truths
The truth I wish I didn't know
Confronting a painful truth when departing
And every time I leave I fall from you
Falling out of connection when leaving
I didn't love you like I could
Repeating the failure to fully love
Gave my heart and took it back
Cyclically giving and retracting love again
I didn't love you like I could
Reiterating a failure to love to the fullest
Time didn't work the way it should
Time not aligning with expectations in the relationship
Wanting more and giving last
Desiring more while offering less
I didn't love you like I should
Acknowledging a deficiency in expressing love
I'm falling asleep, darling
Expressing a gradual drift into sleep without the loved one
I'm falling asleep, my darling
Repeating the sentiment of falling asleep without the loved one
I'm falling asleep
Emphasizing the process of falling asleep
Without you
Highlighting the absence of the loved one during sleep
