Left Town
Heartache in the Shadows: When Love Takes a Midnight Train
Lyrics
It’s cold, i know
Expressing awareness of the cold, both literally and metaphorically.
there’s an emptiness i’m feeling inside
Conveying a deep inner emptiness or emotional void.
with all this room, i’ve still got nowhere to hide
Despite having ample space, there is no place to find refuge or escape.
but if you’re looking for a place for the night
Suggesting an offer of shelter for the night.
then I’m sure hell has got a vacancy sign
Implies a bleak or difficult situation, comparing it to hell.
so if you feel it, then I’m feeling it too
Highlighting shared emotions, a mutual feeling between individuals.
cos there’s so much more we can do
Expressing the belief that there is potential for more in the relationship.
i’ve already gave up trying to prove
Acknowledging the abandonment of efforts to prove something.
exactly how i’m feeling ‘bout you
Indicating difficulty in expressing feelings about the other person.
i let my eyes adjust to the darkness
Adjusting to a metaphorical darkness after a significant loss.
cos i lost all the light when your heart left town
Referring to the departure of the person's heart and the resulting darkness.
patiently I’m waiting for you to be honest
Waiting patiently for honesty from the other person.
but look at what you did, and where it got us
Reflecting on the consequences of the other person's actions.
counting down every minute til i leave
Counting down time until departure, implying a sense of urgency.
and if you’ll ever see me again
Raising a question about the possibility of future encounters.
is it my fault, i let you in
Expressing doubt or self-blame for allowing the other person into their life.
cos there’s no getting over it
Conveying the difficulty of moving on from the situation.
so if you feel it, then I’m feeling it too
Reiterating shared emotions and the potential for more in the relationship.
cos there’s so much more we can do
Stating that there is untapped potential for the relationship.
it's already got its hold on you
Suggesting a strong influence or control over the other person.
i let my eyes adjust to the darkness
Revisiting the adjustment to darkness after the person's departure.
cos i lost all the light when your heart left town
Reiterating the loss of light due to the departure of the other person's heart.
patiently I’m waiting for you to be honest
Waiting for honesty and reflecting on the consequences of the person's actions.
but look at what you did, and where it got us
Highlighting the impact of the other person's actions on both individuals.
