Lyrics

Sleep isn't something

Sleep is a challenging state for the speaker.

That comes easy to me

The ease of falling asleep is elusive for the speaker.

Scared of the dark

The speaker has a fear of darkness.

And I'm scared of what I'll see

Fear of what might be revealed in the darkness.

Scared of failing

The speaker is afraid of failure.

And scared to lose

Fear of losing, possibly in a broader sense.

Scared of myself

The speaker is scared of themselves, suggesting inner struggles.

And I'm terrified of you

An intense fear or anxiety related to another person.


Will you still love me

Questioning the endurance of love in physical absence.

If I'm far away

The speaker wonders if love persists despite distance.

Will you still hear me

Concerns about being heard emotionally when physically distant.

If I call your name

Pleading for confirmation of love through recognition.

Will you still love me

Reiterating the fear of love fading during physical separation.

If I'm far away

Similar to line 11, expressing doubt about emotional connection.

Will you still hear me

A repetition emphasizing the importance of being heard.

If I call your name

Repeating the plea for acknowledgment and love in absence.


Fresh out of feelings

Experiencing a lack of emotions or emotional exhaustion.

Now I'm alone with you

Being in solitude with a specific person.

You make me feel

The person mentioned makes the speaker feel transformed.

Like I could be somebody new

The transformative effect includes a sense of newfound identity.

Tell me your secrets

Expressing a desire for mutual trust and openness.

And I'll tell you too

Willingness to reciprocate openness with sharing secrets.

You make me feel

Continued positive influence, fostering a positive self-perception.

Like I could be somebody too

Feeling empowered to be someone different, possibly better.


Will you still love me

Repeating the concern about the endurance of love over distance.

If I'm far away

A reaffirmation of the fear of love diminishing with physical separation.

Will you still hear me

Emphasizing the importance of being emotionally heard despite distance.

If I call your name

A repetition of the plea for recognition and affirmation.

If I call your name

A final plea for acknowledgment when reaching out emotionally.
