Awake All Night
Nocturnal Reverie: Love's Sleepless Embrace
Lyrics
1, 2, 3, 1, 2
Counting down, possibly indicating impatience or anticipation.
It's 2:15 in the morning, and I'm still thinking 'bout you baby
Expressing late-night thoughts about someone special.
I'm so frequently yawning, but I'm still thinking 'bout you baby
Feeling tired but unable to stop thinking about the person.
Heaven up above did so well on every bit of you baby
Complimenting the person, suggesting admiration.
I think that I'm in love with every single bit of you baby
Expressing love for every aspect of the person.
I don't know if I'll fall asleep tonight
Uncertainty about falling asleep.
When you won't, just won't get off my mind
Struggling to get the person out of the mind.
Instead of counting sheep, I count the stars within your eyes
Metaphorically counting the stars in the person's eyes instead of sleeping.
I wish that I could sleep, but those stars are way too bright
Expressing difficulty sleeping due to the person's brightness.
It's all about you, with or without you, if it wasn't I'd be fine
Highlighting the significance of the person in life.
But the thing is, everything is, and I'll be awake all night
Stating that everything revolves around the person, causing sleeplessness.
It's 4:15 in the morning, and it's still the same old story baby
Reiterating the late-night contemplation about the person.
Staring at the roof for hours, but I really don't find it boring baby
Describing an activity that should be boring but isn't due to thoughts of the person.
Paint my feelings on the ceiling, and it always turns to portraits of you
Using art to express emotions, with the focus on the person.
If my life's a box of chocolates, then fill it with assortments of you
Comparing life to a box of chocolates filled with the variety of the person.
'Cause I don't know if I'll fall asleep tonight
Repeating the uncertainty about falling asleep.
'Cause you won't, just won't get off my mind, yeah.
Emphasizing the persistent thoughts about the person.
Instead of counting sheep, I count the stars within your eyes
Repeating the metaphor of counting stars in the person's eyes.
I wish that I could sleep, but those stars are way too bright
Expressing the challenge of sleeping due to the person's brightness.
It's all about you, with or without you, if it wasn't, I'd be fine
Reiterating the impact of the person on every aspect of life.
But the thing is, everything is, and I'll be awake all night
Stating that everything revolves around the person, causing sleeplessness.
I'll be awake all night
Affirmation of staying awake all night due to thoughts of the person.
I'll be awake all night
Reiteration of the commitment to staying awake all night.
