Goin' out of My Head
Love's Desperation: Goin' Out of My Head by Charlie Byrd
Lyrics
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Expressing a feeling of losing control or sanity
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiterating the sense of losing control or sanity
Over you, Over you
Attributing the emotional state to someone specific
I want you to want me, I need you so badly
Expressing a desire for reciprocated feelings
I can't think of anything but you
Indicating intense preoccupation with the person
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Repeating the theme of losing control or sanity
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Emphasizing the ongoing emotional struggle
Over you, Over you
Reiterating the focus on a specific person
I see you each morning
Noticing the person regularly
But you just walk past me You don't even know that I exist
Expressing the feeling of being unnoticed or ignored
Goin' out of my head over you
Summarizing the overwhelming emotions
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Continuing to describe the emotional state
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Highlighting the persistent nature of the emotional turmoil
I must think of a way Into your heart
Expressing a desire to connect with the person emotionally
There's no reason why My being shy Should keep us apart
Addressing personal obstacles to the connection
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Repeating the theme of losing control
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Affirming the intensity of the emotional struggle
Goin' out of my head over you
Reiterating the overwhelming emotions caused by the person
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Continuing to describe the persistent emotional state
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Emphasizing the continuous nature of the emotional turmoil
Night and day and night
Repeating the idea of the emotional struggle being constant
Wrong or right, day or night
Stating that the emotional turmoil persists regardless of circumstances
Everyday, every, every day
Highlighting the daily recurrence of the emotional struggle
