without you
Yearning Echoes: Embracing the Void Without You
Lyrics
In my mind I play back every second we had
In my mind, I replay every moment we shared.
There they go rushing by one by one, one by one, one by one
Memories rush by, one after another.
You want to clear your head and I want to respect that
You want to clear your mind, and I want to respect that.
But I think you're just scared
However, I believe you're just afraid.
And if there was some, there, there was some way I could I would fix that
If there was a way to fix things, I would do it.
I know you need a little time, you need a little space
I understand you need time and space.
But everywhere I look all I see is your face
Despite that, your presence is everywhere I look.
They say if it's meant to be it'll be so just let it be
People say if it's meant to be, it will happen; just let it be.
But I don't wanna be
But I don't want it to be without you.
Without you
Repeated chorus expressing the desire not to be without the person.
Without you
-Without you
-I don't wanna be
-Without you
-Without you
-Without you
-I took your number out of my contacts
I removed your number from my contacts.
Like a casanova took them down
Similar to a casanova discarding conquests.
One by one, one by one, one by one
Repetition of the act of removing contacts.
Every night looking in brand new eyes
Every night, I meet new people, but none compare to you.
Not a single one of them could
None of them can make me smile like you did.
Make me smile, make me smile
Repetition emphasizing the uniqueness of the person.
Make me smile like you had
I miss the happiness you brought.
Now I need a little time, I need a little space
Now I need time and space.
Cause everywhere I look I still see your face
Your image still lingers everywhere I look.
I know if it's meant to be it'll be so just let it be
Similar to line 8, expressing a fatalistic view of destiny.
But I don't wanna be
Repeated chorus expressing the reluctance to be without the person.
Without you
-Without you
-Without you
-I don't wanna be
-Without you
-Without you
-Without you
Reiteration of the reluctance to be without the person.
I don't want to move on
Expressing the unwillingness to move on.
I don't want to be your friend
Not willing to settle for a friendship.
I don't want to take the risk
Not willing to take the risk of losing everything.
And lose it all
Emphasizing the fear of losing everything.
If this could work if we gave it a chance
Expressing hope that the relationship could work with a chance.
Then I don't wanna miss that chance
Not wanting to miss the opportunity for reconciliation.
No I don't wanna be
Repeated chorus reiterating the desire not to be without the person.
Without you
-Without you
-Without you
-I don't wanna be
-Without you
-Without you
-Without you
-I don't wanna be
Final emphatic repetition of not wanting to be without the person.
I don't wanna be
-I don't wanna be
