Lyrics
I was in the dead of night
I find myself in the darkest part of the night
I've been there before
This situation is familiar to me
Medicating works sometimes
Using medication as a coping mechanism, which is occasionally effective
I'm just trying to lose my train of thought
Attempting to distract myself and break free from persistent thoughts
Only ever feelin' fine, and I'd prefer us to be close
Feeling good only when near you, desiring closeness
I'd like to look you in the eyes
Expressing a desire to make eye contact with you
Not fearing, staring into the void, waitin' for replies
Facing the unknown without fear, anticipating responses
Just waitin' for replies
Continuously waiting for responses
I've been trying to reach your mind, by strippin' all the poems
Attempting to connect with your thoughts by stripping away poetic layers
I've been watchin' dandelions growin' by the grove
Observing the growth of dandelions metaphorically
And it's a shame, because I only came here for the love of you
Expressing disappointment as the primary motive for being present is love
Yeah, it's a shame, because I only came here for the love of you
Reiterating the disappointment and the original intent for love
I was in the dead of night
Revisiting the dark part of the night
I've been there before
A sense of déjà vu, experiencing a familiar situation
Medicating works sometimes
Repeating the use of medication to cope
I'm just trying to lose repeated thoughts
Struggling with recurring thoughts, attempting to break free
Oh, you're over there, feeling fine
You are distant but feeling fine
(I was in the dead of night)
Reflecting on being in the dark of night
Oh, I'd prefer it if we spoke
Expressing a preference for communication
(I've been there before)
Recalling a past experience of being in a similar situation
I'd like to look you in the eyes
Desiring eye contact as a form of connection
Not 3 AM, staring into the void, waitin' for replies
Being awake at 3 AM, facing the unknown, waiting for replies
Just waitin' for replies
Continuously waiting for responses
I only came here to tell the truth
Stating the purpose of coming is to convey the truth
Have one small glass of red, then shoot home
Having a small indulgence, then intending to return home
Only came here to tell the truth
Reiterating the intention to tell the truth
Have one small glass of red, then shoot home
Having a small indulgence, then planning to leave
I was in the dead of night (only came here to tell the truth)
Returning to the dark part of the night
I've been there before (have one small glass of red, then shoot home)
Recalling a familiar situation
Medicating works sometimes (only came here to tell the truth)
Using medication to cope, emphasizing the truth-telling intent
I'm just trying to lose my train of thought (have one small glass of red, then shoot home)
Struggling to clear the mind of persistent thoughts
Only ever feeling fine (I was in the dead of night)
Feeling good, particularly in the dark part of the night
And I'd prefer us to be close (I've been there before)
Desiring closeness and connection
I'd like to look you in the eyes
Expressing a wish to make eye contact
Not fearing, staring into the void, waitin' for replies
Facing the unknown without fear, waiting for replies
Just waitin' for replies
Continuously waiting for responses
