Each Night
Haunted Dreams: Wrestling with Love and Longing
Lyrics
I can’t sleep right when you haunt me each night
I struggle to sleep properly when thoughts of you disturb me every night.
Though I fight it I can’t shake the sight
Despite my efforts, I can't rid myself of the images or memories associated with you.
Other thoughts should be in my head, but I just think of you instead
While other thoughts should occupy my mind, I find myself constantly thinking about you.
I try to wrestle my mind off you, but you find a way back inside, don’t you?
Even when I try to divert my thoughts, you manage to infiltrate my mind.
Don’t dissect my pride, don’t you scrutinize me
Don't analyze or criticize my pride, and please avoid scrutinizing me.
I have set my sights on you only
I have focused solely on you, setting my sights on your presence.
I see your face all through the day
Your face appears in my thoughts consistently throughout the day.
There’s no escaping the trance you have placed on me
I can't escape the captivating influence or spell you have cast on me.
Got a heart that should be on the mend, but it just breaks for you instead
Although my heart should be healing, it continues to ache for you instead.
I try to wrestle my mind off you, but you find a way back inside, don’t you?
Despite attempts to distract myself, thoughts of you resurface and linger.
I strive to show you that I want you, but you deny me every time I do
Efforts to express my desire for you are consistently rejected by you.
Don’t dissect my pride, don’t you scrutinize me
Request to avoid dissecting or closely examining my pride.
I have set my sights on you only
Reiteration of exclusive focus and determination on you.
I’m slightly terrified, don’t upset my psyche
Expressing a mild fear of potential disturbances to my mental state, please don't upset me.
I could win the prize if I’m lucky
Optimistic about winning your affection if luck is on my side.
I got you right where I want you tonight
Confident in having control over you tonight.
What if I win you over this time? You’ll be mine
Pondering the possibility of winning you over this time, anticipating you becoming mine.
I try to wrestle my mind off you, but you find a way back inside, don’t you?
Struggling to remove thoughts of you, as they persistently return to my mind.
