Tonight
Yearning Echoes: Unveiling the Emotions Behind 'Tonight'
Lyrics
I need you in my life now
The speaker expresses a need for someone in their life at this moment.
But I don't have the courage to do it
Despite the desire for this person, the speaker lacks the bravery to act on it.
I missed my chance
They feel they've missed an opportunity in the past.
Yeah I did I blew it
Acknowledgment of a mistake or failure in the past.
Yes I did
Reiteration of having made a mistake.
But I would risk it all for you
The speaker is willing to take significant risks for this person.
And no you've never been out of my mind even when I said I'm over you
Despite trying to move on, thoughts of this person persist in the speaker's mind.
But when you talk to me
The effect of this person's communication triggers physical reactions in the speaker.
My heart skips a beat
Physical response to the person's words or presence.
I need you to see what I feel
The speaker wants this person to understand their emotions.
Words can't form out of my mouth when I see you right through the crowd
The speaker struggles to articulate their feelings when seeing this person in a crowd.
And all those times when you were joking
Recalling instances where the person was playful, while the speaker hoped for sincerity.
I was hoping it was real
The speaker hoped that the person's playful behavior was genuine.
I don't think you realize how much that I care
The speaker believes the person doesn't comprehend the depth of their feelings.
About how you feel
The speaker cares deeply about the emotions and well-being of this person.
Tonight
Repetition emphasizing the intensity of emotions felt "tonight," reiterating the sentiments expressed earlier in the song.
