She changes your mind
She has the power to change your perspective or opinions.
When you see the joy in her eyes
Seeing joy in her eyes has a profound effect on you.
It makes you feel
Her joy elicits emotions within you.
It makes you feel
The impact is strong, emphasized by repetition.
That she trusts your eyes
Her trust in you counters the numbness from past experiences.
From all the things that made you numb
Past experiences that numbed you are contrasted with her trust.
It makes you feel

And I could open up my heart and let her out

And I would never have to say her name aloud

It was yours alone that kept me hanging on every word
Your words were captivating and held significant meaning for me.
And your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
Despite goodbye, anticipation lingers for her presence.
It keeps me listening for you voice around each corner
Repeating the anticipation of hearing her voice.
And I'll sing songs
Using songs as a coping mechanism to stay awake.
To help me stay up all night long
Songs are a way to endure the night.
'Cause I don't want to go to sleep
Resisting sleep, possibly to avoid confronting feelings.
And I'll sing a song
Continuation of using songs as a coping mechanism.
And I hope you're listening carefully
Expressing a hope that she pays attention to the songs.
And know exactly what I mean
Desiring her understanding of the songs' meaning.
You know exactly what I mean

And I could open up my heart and let her out

And I would never have to say her name aloud
Emphasizing the impact of not needing to vocalize her name.
It was yours alone that kept me hanging on every word
