When I'm Not Around
Nocturnal Yearning: Unveiling Emotions When I'm Not Around
Lyrics
When the day is over, where could you be?
Questioning the whereabouts of the person when the day ends.
Do you look past the lights and think "where is he?"
Wondering if the person looks beyond the lights, pondering the speaker's absence.
When I'm not around how do you relate to the night in front of you and the things we never say?
Asking how the person connects with the night and unspoken things when the speaker is not present.
Sometimes alone, in the Clover I met you
Recalling a meeting in Clover, expressing growth in feelings without regret.
My feelings, they grow
Emphasizing emotional growth in the speaker related to the person.
But I never regret you
Affirming that the speaker has no regrets about the person.
When I'm not around, will you let me know, keep me on my game, don't let your feelings show?
Inquiring if the person will communicate the impact of the speaker's absence, urging emotional restraint.
It seems I disappear
Noting a sense of disappearance, while emphasizing proximity.
I'm really right behind
Asserting that despite seeming absent, the speaker is actually close by.
Through the streets I'm always near
Highlighting constant proximity through streets.
Right through the edge of the night
Symbolizing the speaker's presence on the edge of the night.
There's that look that you give when there's a light on the floor
Describing a specific look given when there's light on the floor.
The haze of countless nights is coming in through the door
Depicting the arrival of a haze, representing the passage of numerous nights.
When I'm not around who do you revive?
Questioning who the person thinks about when the speaker is absent.
Who's name is on your mind when the morning comes alive?
Asking about the person's thoughts when the morning begins.
It seems I disappear
Reiterating a sense of disappearance but emphasizing close proximity.
I'm really right behind
Reassuring that the speaker is truly close despite appearances.
Through the streets I'm always near
Reiterating constant proximity through streets.
Right through the edge of the night
Emphasizing the speaker's presence on the edge of the night.
It seems I disappear
Restating a sense of disappearance with an affirmation of close proximity.
I'm really right behind
Reiterating the speaker being truly close despite seeming absent.
Through the streets I keep you near
Asserting ongoing proximity through the streets.
Right through the edge of night
Emphasizing the speaker's presence on the edge of the night.
Come on, I'll take you home
Inviting the person to go home together, suggesting they've been apart for too long.
You've been away too long
Expressing the idea that the person should return home after a prolonged absence.
And we should stay at home
Suggesting the desire to stay home, possibly indicating a desire for intimacy.
I think I'll know you tonight
Anticipating a deeper connection or understanding tonight.
