Give Me Something
Yearning Echoes: Unrequited Longing in Alex Crowson's 'Give Me Something'
Lyrics
I dream about you every night
I consistently dream about you during my nightly sleep.
And in the muted morning light
In the dim morning light, I struggle with the desire to reach out to you.
I fight an urge to call you up and tell you
I resist the impulse to call you and share my feelings.
And as I wash away the sweat
While cleansing myself, I reflect on physical reactions in my dreams.
My body when I'm dreaming gets
My body reacts intensely while dreaming, resonating with a melancholic song for you.
My blood vibrates with a song of mourning for you
My blood vibrates with a song mourning your absence.
I don't know what your deal is
I am unsure about your situation or whereabouts.
Are you in Costa Rica or Belize?
Are you located in Costa Rica or Belize?
If you asked me try again
If you were to ask me again, I would have no reason to fake my feelings; trust me.
I'd have no reason to pretend, believe me
I have genuine emotions and sincerity.
You owe me nothing
You don't owe me anything.
Please give me something
Please provide me with something, a response or acknowledgment.
You owe me nothing
Reiterating that you don't owe me anything.
When I'm sojourning to work
During my commute to work, my thoughts become intense.
My head goes wild with the thought
I am overwhelmed by the possibility of encountering you by chance.
That insignificant chance I might see you
A small chance encounter with you becomes a significant thought during my commute.
I feel it in my deepest place
I feel a strong emotional connection deep within me.
I'd kill and die to see your face
I am willing to go to extremes, even sacrifice, to see your face.
But dropping dead's precisely what I may do
The intensity of my feelings may lead to a metaphorical or literal death.
Most evenings I focus a lot
During most evenings, I spend a lot of time contemplating.
On ruminating when I ought to
I focus on overthinking when I should be engaging in healthier activities.
Exercise, meditate and behave
I neglect activities like exercise, meditation, and proper behavior.
These days I'm a teetotaler
Currently, I refrain from drinking alcohol due to the fear of reaching out to you.
For fear of reaching out to her
I avoid reaching out to you to prevent facing silence or rejection.
And finding only silence on the airwaves
Fearing a lack of response, I hesitate to communicate through the airwaves.
You owe me nothing
You don't owe me anything.
Please give me something
Please provide me with something, a response or acknowledgment.
I'd spend my whole life there
I am willing to spend my entire life there if we can be together.
If we coincide there
If our paths align, I would be dedicated to being with you.
You owe me nothing
Reiterating that you don't owe me anything.
Please give me something
Please provide me with something, a response or acknowledgment.
You owe me nothing
You don't owe me anything.
