As the Night Caves In
Starry Reflections: Nostalgia, Love Lost, and Midnight Contemplations
Lyrics
Still I lie awake at night
Despite lying awake at night
Counting all the stars above my bed
Counting the stars positioned over the bed
Little molded plastic pieces
Referring to small plastic objects
Stuck onto the ceiling tiles
Attached to the ceiling tiles
I contemplate the things we could have been
Reflecting on potential possibilities that could have occurred
I remember August nights
Recollection of specific nights in August
And the need to call you last December
Feeling compelled to contact the person in December
and now you're on your own
Now, the person is alone
It seems like what we had was born to fade
It appears that what they shared was destined to diminish
And I don't know if I
Uncertainty about experiencing a similar opportunity in the future
Will ever have a chance like this again
Doubtful if another chance like this will arise
after all these years
After an extended period of time
We're still just counting stars
Still in the same situation, not progressing
Falling asleep to the sound of your breathing in
Falling asleep to the sound of the person's breathing
fighting, it's over
Conveying that the argument or conflict is finished
Don't ever, don't ever act this way again
Advising against repeating negative behavior
Fighting, it's over now
Reiteration that the fight or disagreement has concluded
another restless night spent in my bed
Describing another night of restlessness in bed
I find it hard to sleep without you
Expressing difficulty sleeping without the person
And wonder if you think about me
Questioning if the person still thinks about the singer
If I'm not meant to see you again
If they are not destined to reunite
I hope I can forget about you
Hoping to move on from thoughts of the person
Busy signals I can't get through
Encountering difficulties in trying to contact the person
caught up in a waking dream
Feeling engrossed in a vivid daydream
Live with the fact that I won't see you again
Acceptance of not seeing the person again
I'm looking after your stars
Caring for or cherishing what belonged to the person
As the night caves in
Reflecting on the approaching darkness or despair
