Desperately
Longing for Love: A Tale of Yearning
Lyrics
Every night it's the same
Expressing a repetitive experience of similarity every night.
I hear you callin' my name
Noticing someone calling the speaker's name.
You're lyin' next to me
Acknowledging the presence of the person lying next to the speaker.
I give into your charms
Yielding to the charms or allure of the person.
You disappear in my arms
Feeling the person disappear while in the speaker's arms, realizing it's a dream.
I realize it's just a dream
Acknowledging the dream-like nature of the experience.
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
Expressing a strong longing to feel the person's touch.
But you left me all alone in love and know I
Reflecting on being left alone in love.
Shake the sleep from my head
Waking up and trying to face the day.
And try to crawl out of bed
Struggling to get out of bed.
Today is just another day
Considering the current day as just another ordinary day.
I make the coffee for one
Engaging in routine tasks alone, like making coffee for one.
I turn the radio on
Turning on the radio to create a facade of normalcy.
Pretend that everything's okay, but
Pretending that everything is okay despite the emotional struggle.
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
Reiterating the strong desire for physical closeness.
But you left me all alone in love and now I
Acknowledging the loneliness resulting from being abandoned in love.
Know there's no reason to smile
Recognizing the absence of reasons to smile.
It's gonna take me awhile
Acknowledging that it will take time to recover from the emotional pain.
But I still love you desperately
Despite the pain, affirming that love for the person still exists.
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
Repeating the intense desire for physical contact.
But you left me all alone in love and now I
Reiterating the theme of being left alone in love.
Watch the sun goin' down
Observing the sunset with a sense of solitude.
There ain't nobody around
Noticing the absence of people around.
I feel the night in the breeze
Feeling the night atmosphere in the air.
I keep on tellin' myself
Telling oneself the independence of not needing anyone else.
I don't need nobody else
Asserting the ability to do as one pleases.
And I can do as I please, but
Despite independence, feeling a sense of loneliness.
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
Repeating the intense desire for physical closeness.
But you left me all alone in love and now I
Reiterating the theme of being left alone in love.
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
Expressing an ongoing strong desire for physical contact.
But you left me all alone in love
Reiterating the theme of being left alone in love.
And every night it's the same
Describing the repetitive nature of the emotional experience every night.
I hear you callin' my name
Hearing the person calling the speaker's name again.
I still love you desperately
Affirming the enduring love for the person despite the emotional turmoil.
I still need you
Reiterating the need for the person.
I still want you
Reiterating the want for the person.
I still love you desperately
Affirming the enduring and desperate love for the person.
I still need you
Reiterating the need for the person.
I still want you
Reiterating the want for the person.
I love you desperately
Affirming the deep and desperate love for the person.
