Mistake
Echoes of Regret: Yearning and Redemption in 'Mistake' by Days Without Friends
Lyrics
I see you in my mind
The speaker envisions someone in their thoughts.
I see you in my sleep
The person is also present in the speaker's dreams.
And all I want is now
The speaker desires the present moment, possibly indicating a sense of urgency.
For you to never leave
The speaker expresses a wish for the person not to depart or abandon them.
Never leave
Repetition of the desire for the person not to leave, emphasizing the sentiment.
If you could just
The speaker requests the person to visit or come over.
Swing by
A request for reassurance, asking the person to confirm that everything is fine.
And tell me it's okay
The speaker wants to hear that things are okay, emphasizing the importance of reassurance.
I've waited so long
An expression of impatience, suggesting a prolonged period of waiting.
To talk to you
The speaker eagerly anticipates communicating with the person, emphasizing the significance of the interaction.
By Mistake

I see you in my mind

I see you in my sleep

And all I want is now
Restatement of the desire for the current moment with the person to continue.
For you to never leave

Never leave
Reiteration of the plea for the person not to depart.
If you could just
Repetition of the request for the person to come and visit.
Swing by
Restating the desire for reassurance from the person.
And tell me it's okay

I've waited so long
