Lyrics
I don't think I'll sleep tonight
The speaker is anticipating insomnia.
I'll meet you on the other side of town
Planning to meet someone in a different part of town.
Tell me something, like that I'm wrong
Asking for reassurance or contradiction of a belief.
It's been so long
Referring to a long period of time passing.
Of everything I've felt inside
Reflecting on various emotions experienced.
I'll make a space for you tonight
Reserving a place or emotional space for someone.
Please talk me down
Seeking emotional support or comfort.
Just please talk me down
Reiterating the plea for emotional support.
I go on night drives that you'll never see
Engaging in activities or experiences hidden from someone else.
I sit in silence wondering
Contemplating thoughts or existence in silence.
If I know myself
Questioning self-awareness and understanding.
Like you know me
Comparing personal knowledge to someone else's understanding.
If I know myself
Repeating the introspective comparison.
Like you know me
Emphasizing the disparity in understanding between oneself and another.
Looking on roadlines right now
Observing the road markings or signs currently.
You were always there for me somehow
Recognizing the consistent support from someone.
I prayed to God that I was what you needed
Expressing a desire to fulfill someone's needs or expectations.
I'm homesick for what I can't find
Longing for something unattainable or absent.
It's getting colder all the time
Describing a continual decrease in warmth or emotional closeness.
Please give me something to believe in
Requesting something substantial to have faith in.
I go on night drives that you'll never see
Repeating the secretive night drives.
I sit in silence wondering
Continuing the contemplation in silence.
If I know myself
Reflecting on self-knowledge compared to another's perception.
Like you know me
Reiterating the uncertainty about self-awareness.
If I know myself
Repeating the comparison of personal knowledge to someone else's understanding.
Like you know me
Emphasizing the disparity in understanding between oneself and another once again.
I thought I heard you in the hall but it was in my head
Hallucinating or mistaking sounds for the presence of someone else.
I thought I heard you in the hall but it was in my head
Repeating the experience of hearing nonexistent sounds.
I thought I heard you in the hall but it was in my head
Continuing the pattern of mistaken auditory perceptions.
I thought I heard you in the hall but it was nothing
Realizing that what was thought to be a presence was actually nothing.
