Like A Hero In The Night
Eternal Yearning: A Hero's Quest to Bring Back Lost Love
Lyrics
Whenever I see your face it’s only cause I’m dreaming
Seeing your face is a dreamlike experience for me.
Missing you is the reason I’m alone in the dark
Feeling lonely and in the dark because I miss you.
I’ve been lost in the desert looking for a sign
Lost and searching for a sign in the metaphorical desert of life.
Tryin’ to find a miracle to take me back in time
Seeking a miracle to reverse time and bring back a better past.
If I could stop the angels that day that took you away
Expressing a desire to change the past and prevent the loss.
I’d fly up to heaven and like a hero in the night
Willing to go to great lengths, even metaphorically to heaven, to bring back the lost person.
I would bring you back alive, because you’re everything that’s right
Describing the lost person as everything that is right.
I just can’t say goodbye
Struggling to say goodbye to the person.
Whenever I close my eyes, I say a little prayer
Expressing grief and praying when closing eyes, emphasizing disbelief in the loss.
I can’t believe you’re really gone, my heart’s beyond repair
The heart is beyond repair due to the loss.
I try to find a reason to face another day
Searching for a reason to face each day despite the broken heart.
‘Cause my broken heart’s gonna fall apart and slowly fade away
Anticipating the gradual breakdown of the broken heart.
If I could stop the angels that day that took you away
Reiterating the desire to change the past and prevent the loss.
I’d fly up to heaven and like a hero in the night
Re-emphasizing the willingness to be a hero to bring back the lost person.
I would bring you back alive, because you’re everything that’s right
Reaffirming the lost person as everything that is right.
I just can’t say goodbye
Continuing to express difficulty in saying goodbye.
‘Cause in my life, I can’t face this world alone
Acknowledging the inability to face the world alone after the loss.
Since my baby’s gone
Reflecting on the impact of the baby's departure.
And a sit there and I wonder how my life turned out like this
Expressing contemplation about the unexpected turn in life.
And sometimes I cry out in anger, I’d give my life for one last kiss
Expressing intense emotions, including anger and a willingness to sacrifice for one last moment.
And every now and then I swear that I can smell her sweet perfume
Recollecting memories through sensory experiences, like the smell of sweet perfume.
Girl, they should’ve taken me instead, true love has died too soon
Expressing a wish that the speaker should have been taken instead.
If I could stop the angels that day that took you away
Reiterating the desire to prevent the loss by stopping the angels.
I’d fly up to heaven and like a hero in the night
Re-emphasizing the heroic act of going to heaven to bring back the lost person.
I would bring you back alive, because you’re everything that’s right
Reaffirming the lost person as everything that is right.
I just can’t say goodbye
Continuing to express difficulty in saying goodbye.
In my life, I can’t face the world alone
Reiterating the inability to face the world alone after the loss.
In my life, I can’t face the world alone
Repeating the sentiment of being unable to face the world alone after the loss.
Since my baby’s gone, she’s gone, gone, gone, gone
Emphasizing the finality of the baby's departure.
My baby’s gone
Repeating the acknowledgment of the baby's departure.
