Night Like Tonight
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Love on Lonely Nights
Lyrics
On a night like tonight when there's no one around
Expressing solitude on a quiet night with no company.
I don't have any friends in this town
Feeling isolated without friends in the current location.
Flip through my books, wash my clothes in the sink
Engaging in mundane activities like reading and washing clothes.
And it's only one thought I can think
Focused on a single thought, possibly about someone special.
On a night like tonight with no concert to play
Reflecting on a night without a scheduled performance.
But I'm stuck on the road anyway
Despite being on the road, feeling stuck or unable to move forward.
A hotel room with an ashtray by the bed
Describing a typical hotel room setting with an ashtray.
And I can't get you out of my head
Struggling to get someone out of the mind.
I just wanna sing you a love song
Expressing a desire to sing a love song.
Just wanna be by your side
Yearning to be close to a loved one.
I'm so through with these new foreign landscapes
Feeling discontent with unfamiliar surroundings.
I just wanna see your face
Craving to see the face of a significant person.
On a night like tonight when my passion's been spent
Describing a night after putting energy into a passion.
I'm just working a job to pay rent
Working a job for practical reasons, such as paying rent.
To be so far from home to be living my dreams
Acknowledging the distance from home while pursuing dreams.
I guess nothing is quite what it seems
Suggesting that appearances can be deceiving.
On a night like tonight when the rain keeps me in
Being confined indoors by rain and expressing weariness of usual mistakes.
I'm so tired of the usual sins
Expressing fatigue with repetitive errors or missteps.
A church bell rings and I'm certain at last
Noting the significance of a church bell, signaling a moment of clarity.
That I'm finally done with the past
Claiming closure and moving on from past experiences.
And I know that at home you're still waiting
Acknowledging someone waiting at home, possibly a lover.
For me to climb up those stairs
Encouraging the person at home to expect a return.
And I know that you're still hesitating
Recognizing hesitation in the person at home.
But baby, I'm already there
Assuring that the speaker is already present emotionally.
I just wanna sing you a love song
Reiterating the desire to express love through a song.
Just wanna be by your side
Expressing the yearning to be physically close to a loved one.
I'm so through with these new foreign landscapes
Expressing dissatisfaction with unfamiliar surroundings.
I just wanna see your face
Reiterating the longing to see the face of a significant person.
