Lyrics
Can I stay the night
Expressing a desire to spend the night.
Or is this over
Questioning if the relationship is ending or not.
Your Mother's name never sounded so cold
Reflecting on the emotional distance, using the mother's name as a metaphor for coldness.
So turn off the lights
Suggesting a need for darkness, possibly to hide emotions or avoid confrontation.
And don't do me any favours
Asking not to receive any special treatment or kindness.
I still think you're the best but I can't stand this being alone
Acknowledging admiration but expressing discomfort with loneliness.
And the way that I am is the best I can offer you
Asserting that the current self is the best the person can offer in the relationship.
I don't care what it takes
Stating a willingness to do whatever it takes for the relationship.
Won't you say that you want me too
Requesting confirmation of mutual feelings.
Cos I never stopped wanting you
Expressing a continuous desire for the person.
You promised you're trying
Referring to a promise of effort or improvement.
We both know I'll always believe you
Believing in the sincerity of the promise despite past experiences.
Cos I've loved and I've lost twice before, will it ever feel right
Questioning if the relationship will ever feel right after previous losses.
Just to be in your arms for the blink of an eye and then leave you
Desiring a brief moment of closeness but anticipating separation.
No I won't speak, I promise that I will stay quiet
Committing to silence, possibly to avoid further complications.
And the way that I am is the best I can offer you
Reiterating that the current self is the best that can be given.
I don't care what it takes
Reaffirming the willingness to make sacrifices for the relationship.
Won't you say that you want me too
Seeking verbal confirmation of mutual desire.
Cos I never stopped wanting you
Expressing an enduring desire for the person.
Oh wanting you
Repeating the theme of wanting the person.
I never stopped wanting you
Emphasizing the persistence of the desire.
Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you ahhhh
Expressing the ongoing, intense longing for the person.
Never stopped wanting you
Reiterating the enduring desire for the person.
