Lyrics
As I lay awake I find
Contemplating while awake, thoughts of someone occupy the mind.
You're resting on my mind
The person is strongly present in the speaker's thoughts.
And running through my head
Constantly on the speaker's mind, the thoughts are recurring.
While I'm laying up in my bed
The speaker is in bed, possibly restless, thinking about this person.
I don't sleep no more
Sleeplessness, possibly due to intense contemplation about life's purpose.
Wonder what I'm living for
Questioning the meaning and purpose of life.
How long 'till I have
Pondering the time it will take to have the person in question.
How long 'till I have you?
If I thought you felt the same
Expressing a willingness to make sacrifices for mutual feelings.
I would walk until I was lame
Ready to endure hardship, emphasizing the depth of emotions.
Across four thousand miles
Willing to traverse a great distance for the sake of being together.
Just to hold you for a while
Desire to hold the person close, even if briefly.
How long 'till I have
Reiteration of the longing to have the person in the speaker's life.
How long 'till I have you?
How long 'till I have
Repetition of the yearning for the person's presence.
How long 'till I have you?
When my heart refuse to pound
Imagining a time when the heart stops beating and contemplating mortality.
And they lay my body down
Envisioning a scenario of death and burial.
I'll be lying there alone
Anticipating solitude in death without the person.
And you'll be staring at my stone
Imagining the person's reaction at the speaker's grave.
But if you hear me call your name
If the person responds to a call after death, the speaker will be present in spirit.
I'll be with you just the same
Assurance that even in death, the speaker's connection remains.
How long 'till I have
Repetition of the desire for the person's presence, questioning the time it will take.
How long 'till I have you?
How long 'till I have
-How long 'till I have you?
-How long 'till I have
-How long 'till I have you?
