Were You in Love with Me
Exploring Love's Depths: Andy Shauf's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Were you in love with me
Questioning if the person was once in love with the speaker
When we were on the couch
Reflecting on a shared intimate moment on the couch
In between every day
Asking about the dreams the person had during their time together
What were your dreams about
Curiosity about the content of the person's dreams
Was it coincidence
Questioning whether certain events were mere coincidence
That every sad song
Noting the emotional impact of sad songs
That didn't seem so far off
Reflecting on the relatability of sad songs to personal experiences
Brought you to sing along
Highlighting the connection formed through shared music
I am a hotel room
Metaphorically comparing the speaker to a hotel room
You are the light
Metaphorically describing the person as a source of brightness
The darkness, forgotten
Referring to the darkness as forgotten when in the person's presence
All through the night
Expressing the positive impact of the person's presence throughout the night
And when the silent night
Describing the intrusion of silence during nighttime
Invades the busy day
Highlighting the contrast between night and day
Unwelcome thoughts provide
Suggesting that unwelcome thoughts find refuge during silent nights
A place to hide away
Portraying unwelcome thoughts as a hiding place
I am a hotel room
Reiterating the metaphor of the speaker as a hotel room
You are the light
Reaffirming the person as a source of light in the speaker's life
The darkness, forgotten
Emphasizing the dispelling of darkness in the person's presence
All through the night
Underlining the positive impact lasting throughout the night
The car ride
Describing a car ride taken at 3 am
I took off
Indicating a departure or escape
At three am
Specifying the time of the car ride
Sleep lightly
Advising to sleep lightly
Eternity
Referencing a sense of eternal concern or contemplation during sleep
Enough to worry me
Expressing the weight of perpetual worry
Does she still love me?
Repetition of the question, possibly indicating a persistent doubt about the person's current feelings
Does she still love me?
-Does she still love me?
-Does she still love me?
-Does she still love me?
-Does she still love me?
-Does she still love me?
-Does she still love me?
