Lyrics

I waited by the phone

I eagerly anticipated a call while waiting by the phone

Expecting a call from you

Anticipating communication specifically from you

Let's talk it over

Suggesting a conversation to discuss matters

But you never knew

You were unaware of this desire for discussion

I want to hear you say

Desire to hear explicit expressions of trust from you

How you trust in me

Expressing the wish for trust and intimacy

And I sing today

Singing today, possibly indicating a hopeful or positive mindset

Well let's wait and see

Remaining uncertain about the outcome

If you only existed

Expressing a hypothetical situation where only you exist

only existed

Reiteration of the hypothetical existence

I'd let you see the best of me

Willingness to reveal the best aspects of oneself if you were real

If you only existed

Repeating the desire for the hypothetical existence of you

I made a picture of you

Creating an imaginary image of you in the mind

Inside my head

The mental picture is established within the speaker's thoughts

We'd be prefect together

Envisioning a perfect relationship with you

Yet I'm lonely and cold in bed

Despite the fantasy, feeling lonely and cold in bed

I want to feel you near

Expressing the desire to be physically close to you

Smell the skin you're in

Wishing to experience the scent of your skin

I want to feel you near me

Yearning for physical closeness, which has never happened

But you've never been

Emphasizing the absence of such closeness

If you only existed

Reiteration of the hypothetical existence, emphasizing its impact

only existed

Restating the concept of your hypothetical existence

I'd let you see the best of me

Reiterating the willingness to reveal the best self in that scenario

If you only existed

Expressing the desire for the hypothetical existence of you once more

I mediate

Engaging in meditation, possibly as a coping mechanism

Ease the pain

Seeking relief from emotional pain

Always

Repetition of the word "Always," possibly emphasizing enduring pain

Always

Reiteration of the enduring nature of the emotional state

Mediate

Continuing the theme of meditation as a way to cope

I wait

Waiting persistently

Always

Reaffirmation of enduring waiting

Always

Emphasizing the perpetual nature of waiting

Mediate

Repetition of the theme of mediation for pain relief

Ease the pain

Seeking a resolution to the pain through meditation

Mediate

Continuing the idea of meditation for relief

Always

Reiteration of persistent meditation

Mediate

Continuing the theme of mediation and its role in coping

Ease the pain

Seeking pain relief through meditation

Mediate

Repetition of the idea of persistent meditation

Always

Continuing the theme of enduring meditation

I wish you existed

Expressing a longing for your actual existence

I wish you existed

Repeating the wish for your existence

I wish you existed

Emphasizing the desire for your real presence

Wish you existed

Repetition of the longing for your existence
