Your Love
Longing Echoes: Embracing the Absence in Justin Irby's 'Your Love'
Lyrics
It's been days I haven't slept
Expressing a period of sleeplessness over several days.
I wish you were here instead
Desiring the presence of the person being addressed instead of dreaming about them.
Of dreaming when you hold me
Expressing a desire for physical closeness, specifically being held in dreams.
Again
Expressing a longing for the described closeness to happen again.
It's been weeks I don't forget
Indicating a prolonged memory of past conversations or statements.
All the things that you had said
Continuing to remember and contemplate what the person mentioned in the past.
Now I'm lonely
Feeling isolated or without companionship currently.
You say not that long
Contrasting the perceived length of time with the statement "not that long."
I miss you darling
Expressing a strong longing or missing feeling for the addressed person.
I want you badly
Intensifying the desire for the person being addressed.
But baby don't you know
Pleading with the person not to be unaware of the feelings being expressed.
But baby don't you know
Repetition for emphasis on the previous plea for the person's awareness.
I need your love
Repetition of the need for love, emphasizing its importance.
I need your love
-I need your
-I need your
-I need your love
-I need your love
-I need your
-I need your
-It's been days I haven't slept
Repetition of the earlier themes of sleeplessness, remembering, loneliness, and longing.
I wish you were here instead
-Of dreaming when you hold me
-Again
-It's been weeks I don't forget
-All the things that you had said
-Now I'm lonely
-You say not that long
-I miss you darling
-I want you badly
-But baby don't you know
Repetition of the plea for the person's awareness and the intense need for love.
I need your love
-I need your love
-I need your
-I need your
-I need your love
-I need your love
-I need your
-Baby don't you know
-I need your love
Reiteration of the strong need for the addressed person's love.
I need your love
-I need your
-I need your
-I need your love
-I need your love
-I need your
-I need your
