Goin' out of My Head
Love's Silent Struggle: Goin' Out of My Head
Lyrics
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Expressing a feeling of losing control or sanity
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiterating the sense of losing control or sanity
Over you, Over you
Emphasizing the cause of distress: a person
I want you to want me, I need you so badly
Desiring reciprocation and expressing a strong need
I can't think of anything but you
Being consumed by thoughts of the person
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Repeating the theme of losing control or sanity
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Continuing the expression of distress and instability
Over you, Over you
Reiterating the cause of distress: the person
I see you each morning
Observing the person daily
But you just walk past me You don't even know that I exist
Noticing the lack of acknowledgment and existence in the person's eyes
Goin' out of my head over you
Intensifying the feeling of losing control over emotions
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Emphasizing the constant preoccupation with thoughts of the person day and night
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Highlighting the obsessive nature of the thoughts, regardless of whether they are wrong or right
I must think of a way Into your heart
Expressing a desire to find a way to the person's heart
There's no reason why My being shy Should keep us apart
Addressing shyness as an obstacle to connection
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Repeating the theme of losing control or sanity
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Affirming the ongoing sense of losing control
Goin' out of my head over you
Reiterating the overwhelming impact of the person on emotions
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Stressing the continuous preoccupation with thoughts day and night
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Repeating the obsessive nature of thoughts, irrespective of their correctness
Night and day and night
Emphasizing the perpetual nature of the emotional struggle
Wrong or right, day or night
Highlighting the persistent internal conflict regardless of time
Everyday, every, every day
Underlining the daily recurrence of emotional turmoil
