Lyrics

Every single morning before I wake up lonely

Expresses waking up feeling lonely every morning.

I feel you here beside me but I know it's only

Sensing a presence beside but understanding it's just an illusion.

A fading shadow, an illusion

Acknowledging that the perceived presence is fading and not real.

Every little thing reminds me of you

Various things trigger memories of the person being missed.

Every shining colour has a shade of you in it

Seeing aspects of the missed person in everything.

I was blind but now I see it

Realizing the significance of the missed person after being unaware before.


If I could only have a day

Expresses a strong desire to spend time with the missed person.

In the shelter of your arms

Yearning for the comfort and safety provided by the missed person's embrace.

Or just an hour, I would pay

Willingness to pay any cost to be with the missed person, even for a short time.

Any price to be where you are

Highlighting the longing to be in the presence of the missed person.

And if it got down to a minute

Even a minute of time with the missed person would be incredibly valuable.

That'd be precious time

Emphasizing the importance of even a brief moment with the missed person.

‘Cause a second's all I need to tell you

Expresses urgency in conveying a message within a short time.

Losing you is gonna take a life time for me

Stressing that the process of losing the missed person will be a lengthy and painful experience.


Every other night I still dream about you

Continuing to dream about the missed person on a regular basis.

Every song I hear has a sound of you in it

Associating every song heard with memories of the missed person.

And I can't believe that it's over

Expressing disbelief and sorrow over the relationship being over.

There were many things that I should have told you

Regretting not expressing certain things to the missed person.

And there were many times when I could have done so

Reflecting on missed opportunities to communicate feelings or actions to the person.

But I know baby that it's too late

Realizing that it's too late to rectify missed chances.


If I could only rearrange the hands of time

Expresses a desire to alter past events if possible.

I'd make it up to you, I'd make you change your mind

Wanting to make amends and change the missed person's decision.


If I could only rearrange the hands of time

Desire remains strong to rectify past actions if given the chance.

I'd make it up to you, I'd make you change your mind

Reaffirming the intention to make amends and change the missed person's mind if possible.
