The Thought of You and Me
Echoes of Unrequited Longing
Lyrics
I'm making songs because I can't have you
The artist is creating music as a way to cope with the inability to be with someone they desire.
I locked up in this tiny room
Feeling confined or trapped in a small space, possibly reflective of emotional confinement.
Writing poetry with the words we once knew
Expressing emotions through poetry, using shared memories and language from the past relationship.
The melody goes to my head
The music's melody is deeply affecting the artist, resonating in their mind.
Like some phosphorescent waterbed
The impact of the melody is compared to the sensation of a waterbed, emphasizing its immersive and intense nature.
And I'm still alone with torn sheets
Despite being alone, there's a sense of emotional turmoil represented by torn sheets.
And the thought of you and me
Reflecting on the relationship and the persistent thoughts about being together.
There's been times where I just could not breathe
Recalling moments of emotional distress, difficulty breathing, possibly due to fear of losing love.
Next to love I thought was leaving me
Acknowledging past experiences where love seemed to be slipping away.
How insecure it all might have seemed
Reflecting on insecurities and how they may have affected the relationship.
But you put those words into my head
The partner has influenced the artist's thoughts significantly.
Like some psychotic killer
Describing the impact of the partner's words as intense and possibly disturbing.
And I just can't live with that
Struggling to live with the weight of these intense emotions.
Without the thought of you and me
The persistent presence of thoughts about the relationship even in difficult moments.
So I pray, but no one's listening
Expressing a sense of hopelessness or lack of response to prayers.
Well you're just in time, so tune right in
Inviting the listener to pay attention as the story unfolds.
It's all going according to plan
Suggesting that events are unfolding as anticipated or planned.
She says one last final goodbye
A farewell moment where someone says a final goodbye.
He says, "Here's to you kid"
A toast or acknowledgment, possibly sarcastic, to someone leaving.
And this is how the song should end
Describing how the song should conclude, tying it back to thoughts of the relationship.
Like the thought of you and me
Reiterating the persistent theme of thoughts about the partner and the relationship.
Well I know there are better days
Acknowledging the possibility of better days in the future.
Ahead but I only see your face
Despite hopeful prospects, the focus remains on the face of the person the artist longs for.
I can't tell you why I feel this way
Expressing difficulty in explaining the emotions felt.
When your goodbye turns into a runaway
Describing the emotional impact when a goodbye becomes a departure without closure.
When your goodbye turns into an "I couldn't stay,"
Further elaborating on the transformation of a goodbye into an admission of inability to stay.
When your goodbye becomes a year ago today
Reflecting on the passage of time since the departure, marking a significant anniversary.
I remember the thought of you and me
Recalling the persistent thoughts of the relationship from the past.
