Lyrics
I've been going up
I've been experiencing ups and downs.
And down for hours
I've been going through emotional fluctuations for an extended period.
Wishing that you
Desiring your presence.
Were here instead
Expressing a longing for you to be here instead.
I've been thinking how
Reflecting on the times you gave me flowers.
You picked me flowers
Contemplating who will perform such gestures in your absence.
Wondering who'll do that now
Wondering about gestures of affection when you're not present.
When you're not around
Considering the void when you're not around.
So when I call or I text
Expressing a desire for responsiveness when calling or texting.
Please pick up
Requesting the other person to answer the phone.
Cos i'm anxious that you won't
Fearing that you might not respond.
Remember how to laugh at my jokes
Concerned about the potential loss of shared laughter.
And I hope when our Song
Hoping that a shared song triggers memories of the speaker.
Plays you'll think of me
Wanting to be remembered with affection.
And remember me fondly
Desiring to be recalled fondly.
And then maybe you'll call me
Anticipating a call after reminiscing through the song.
So on nights when I can't sleep
Expressing difficulty sleeping or feeling lonely at night.
Or I miss your company
Longing for the company of the person being addressed.
I hope you'll be around
Expressing hope for the person to be available during lonely nights.
Wish you knew how much
Expressing the depth of love for moments of silence shared.
I love the silence
Desiring the person not to go away.
So Don't go away
Expressing appreciation for the person's presence.
I Just like your company
Emphasizing enjoyment of the person's company.
So Don't feel like
Assuring the person they are not intruding.
You're up in my space
Requesting not to feel distant.
Cos there's a place for you
Asserting a place for the person in the speaker's life.
Wherever I May go
Assuring the person they have a place regardless of the speaker's location.
So when I call or I text
Reiterating the desire for a responsive answer when contacting.
Please pick up
Requesting the person to answer calls.
Cos i'm anxious that you won't
Expressing anxiety about potential non-responsiveness.
Remember how to laugh at my jokes
Reiterating concern about shared laughter being forgotten.
And I hope when our Song
Hoping for memories triggered by a shared song.
Plays you'll think of me
Wanting to be remembered with fondness.
And remember me fondly
Desiring a subsequent call after the reminiscing process.
And then maybe you'll call me
So on nights when I can't sleep
Reiterating difficulty sleeping or missing the person's company.
Or I miss your company
Expressing the desire for the person to be present during such nights.
I hope you'll be around
