Taking Over Me
Emotions Drive in an Empty Sunset
Lyrics
I'm driving home
Expressing the action of driving home.
From your house, I roll the windows down some more
Driving with the windows down, possibly to enjoy the experience and atmosphere.
Just to feel the sky pouring through the window
Sensory imagery of feeling the sky and air through the open window.
Of my 98' blue 5 speed
Describing the car, a 98' blue 5-speed, setting the scene.
I know what it feels like to miss you like hell
Expressing a deep longing and strong emotions about missing someone.
Such a waste to let you walk away right now
Regretting the possibility of letting the person walk away.
I don't want this evening to end
Expressing a desire for the current moment to last longer.
Your deep brown eyes in my rear view
Noticing the person's deep brown eyes in the rearview mirror.
Feel you
Feeling a connection or presence of the person.
Feel you taking over me
Emphasizing the person's influence and control over the narrator.
Watching the sun going down
Observing the sunset, possibly reflecting on the passing of time.
Wondering why I'm not near you
Expressing a longing to be closer to the person.
Feel you
Reiterating the influence of the person over the narrator.
Feel you take over me
Emphasizing the person's continued control over the narrator.
Feel you taking over me
Repeating the idea of the person taking control of the narrator's thoughts or emotions.
I'm in these empty streets
Describing the narrator's presence in empty streets.
Keep seeing you in all the places we would meet
Seeing reminders of the person in familiar places.
I know your not there but sometimes I make believe
Acknowledging the imaginary aspect of perceiving the person's presence.
Cuz it's taking the best of me
Expressing the emotional toll of the situation on the narrator.
Ever since you left to study on the coast
Reflecting on the person leaving to study on the coast.
I wonder how you managed to just let this go
Questioning how the person could let go of the relationship.
I don't want this evening to end
Reiterating the desire for the current moment to continue.
Your deep brown eyes in my rear view
Noticing the person's eyes in the rearview mirror again.
Feel you
Feeling the continued presence or impact of the person.
Feel you taking over me
Repeating the idea of the person taking control of the narrator.
Watching the sun going down
Observing the sunset again and questioning the distance from the person.
Wondering why I'm not near you
Expressing the desire to be closer to the person during the sunset.
