Lyrics
On my own
Expressing a sense of solitude and independence.
Pretending he's beside me
Imagining the presence of someone special beside the speaker.
All alone
Emphasizing the feeling of being completely by oneself.
I walk with him 'til morning
Symbolic journey with the imagined companion, suggesting a strong connection.
Without him, I feel his arms around me
Feeling the absence of the person but still sensing their comforting presence.
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me
Finding solace in the imagined presence during challenging times.
In the rain
Describing a romantic scene with the rain enhancing the surroundings.
The pavement shines like silver
Depicting a poetic image of the glistening pavement in the rain.
All the lights are misty in the river
Creating an atmospheric setting with misty lights by the river.
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
Noticing the beauty of nature even in the darkness.
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
Expressing a desire for a lasting connection with the imagined companion.
And I know it's only in my mind
Acknowledging that the imagined relationship is a creation of the mind.
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
Realizing that the speaker is talking to herself, aware of the illusion.
And although I know that he is blind
Recognizing the blindness of the imagined companion to the speaker's feelings.
Still I say, there's a way for us
Despite challenges, holding onto hope for a shared future.
I love him
Professing genuine love for the imagined companion.
But when the night is over
Accepting the temporary nature of the connection, as the night ends.
He is gone
Highlighting the disappearance of the imagined companion.
The river's just a river
Normalizing the world without the imagined presence.
Without him, the world around me changes
Noting the transformative effect of the imagined companion's absence.
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers
Feeling estranged when the imagined companion is not present.
I love him
Reaffirming the genuine love despite the challenging circumstances.
But every day, I'm learning
Acknowledging the ongoing process of learning and self-discovery.
All my life, I've only been pretending
Reflecting on a life spent pretending, possibly in the absence of real connection.
Without me, his world will go on turning
Recognizing that life goes on even without the speaker's presence.
A world that's full of happiness that I have never known
Observing a world filled with happiness, contrasting with the speaker's experience.
I love him
Repeated expression of deep love for the imagined companion.
I love him
Reiteration of the profound love felt by the speaker.
I love him
Continued affirmation of love despite being solitary.
But only on my own
Summarizing the paradox of loving someone who is not physically present.
