Lyrics
Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown
The singer plans to go to the city center tonight.
Tonight I think I'm gonna look around
He intends to explore or search around the downtown area.
For something I couldn't see
He's seeking something elusive or intangible.
When this world was more real to me
Reflecting on a past time when the world felt more genuine or substantial to him.
Yeah, tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown
Reiterating his plan to go downtown tonight.
My love, my love has gone away
Expressing that his romantic partner has departed.
My love, my love, what can I say?
Feeling unable to adequately convey emotions about his departed love.
My love would never see
His love was unable to understand his perspective.
That this world's just not real to me
His perception of reality differs from his love's.
And tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown
Reiterating his intention to go downtown tonight.
I told my love a thousand times
Repeatedly communicated to his love about his inner thoughts.
That I can't say what's on my mind
Struggled to articulate his feelings to his love.
But she would never see
His love couldn't comprehend his viewpoint.
That this world's just not real to me
Reiterating the difference in perception of reality with his love.
And tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown
Reaffirming his plan to go downtown tonight.
Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown
Repeating his intention to visit downtown.
Tonight I think I'm gonna look around
Expressing the intention to explore or observe in the downtown area.
For something I couldn't see
Searching for something undefined or elusive.
When this world was more real to me
Recalling a time when the world felt more tangible or genuine.
Yeah, tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown
Confirming his plan to go downtown tonight.
