How'm I gonna stop dreaming of you
The persistent theme of grappling with the inability to stop dreaming about the person continues.
Nothing gonna stop me dreaming of you
The speaker acknowledges that nothing seems capable of preventing these dreams.
When you gonna stop acting like you do
The speaker questions when the person will stop behaving a certain way.
Stop breaking my heart, baby, right in two
Expresses emotional pain caused by the person breaking the speaker's heart.
How long 'til I know this feeling ain't new
Uncertainty about how long the speaker will experience this familiar feeling.
And I could find some way to get to you
The speaker contemplates finding a way to connect with the person.
Ooh, I want you in my arms
Expresses a desire to have the person in their arms.
Ooh, so I hold you from afar
Despite physical distance, the speaker figuratively holds onto the person.
Then I go too far
Suggests the speaker may sometimes take their feelings too far.
How long 'til I know this feeling ain't new
Reiterates the uncertainty about the duration of the emotional experience.
And I stop getting my hopes up like I do
Expresses a desire to avoid raising hopes without reason.
Well I just can't wait to see you
The speaker is eagerly anticipating seeing the person again.
Yeah, honey can't you see I'm nothing new
Conveys the message that the speaker is not a new presence in the person's life.
Ooh, I want you in my arms
Repeats the desire to have the person close.
Ooh, but I'll just hold you from afar
Acknowledges the distance and the speaker's limited ability to be with the person.
Then I go too far
Suggests a pattern of the speaker going too far in their emotions or actions.
How'm I gonna stop dreaming of you
The challenge of stopping the recurring dreams is reiterated.
How'm I gonna stop dreaming of you
Repetition emphasizes the ongoing struggle to end the dreams.
And when you're not the one I thought I knew
The realization that the person is not who the speaker thought, but the dreams persist.
Yeah, honey I'll just keep dreaming of you
Despite the revelation, the speaker continues to dream about the person.
