Lyrics
Alone just sitting there
Feeling alone and sitting in contemplation
Thinking of you till it hurts
Reflecting on thoughts of someone to the point of emotional pain
You're young so innocent
Describing the person as young and innocent
Without a care in the world
Emphasizing their carefree nature
You're there but not visible
Physically present but emotionally distant
My expectations become
Expectations are not being met
Do you think it's right?
Raising a question about the appropriateness of the situation
And do you think it's right?
Repeating the question, highlighting uncertainty
Crying in the night
Expressing the act of crying during the night
For crying in the night
Reiterating the emotional pain experienced in the night
(Oh in the night)
Adding emphasis to the emotional state during the night
My road was different
Describing a different life path
There's so much that you have to learn
Highlighting the need for learning
A little hand in mine
Reference to a child holding hands
And all the smiles and laughter is fine
Enjoying moments of joy and laughter
Wherever I'll be, land or sea
Commitment to care regardless of location
I will care for you
Expressing continued care and support
Do you think it's right?
Repeating the question about the appropriateness of the situation
And do you think it's right?
Reiterating the uncertainty about the situation
Crying in the night
Repeating the expression of crying in the night
For crying in the night
Reiterating the emotional pain experienced in the night
(Oh in the night)
Adding emphasis to the emotional state during the night
Each day provides it's own gifts
Highlighting the gifts and experiences each day brings
Time brings all to pass
Emphasizing the inevitability of time passing
Writing comes more easily
Expressing the ease of writing when there is something to communicate
When you've got something to say
Linking the creative process to having meaningful content
You're young and beautiful
Complimenting the youth and beauty of the person
Have no enemy but time
Identifying time as the only adversary
In time, take time
Encouraging patience and taking time when necessary
When time does last
Suggesting that valuable things take time
For time is no time
Playing with the concept that time is relative
When time is passed
Reflecting on the past and the irreversibility of time
Do you think it's right?
Repeating the question about the appropriateness of the situation
And do you think it's right?
Reiterating the uncertainty about the situation
Crying in the night
Repeating the expression of crying in the night
For crying in the night
Reiterating the emotional pain experienced in the night
(Oh in the night)
Adding emphasis to the emotional state during the night
