Goin' out of My Head
Love's Obsession: Desperate Longing and Heartache
Lyrics
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Expressing a feeling of losing control or sanity.
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiteration of the feeling of losing control or sanity.
Over you, Over you
Attributing the sense of losing control to a specific person ("Over you").
I want you to want me, I need you so badly
Desire for reciprocated feelings and a strong need for the person.
I can't think of anything but you
Being consumed by thoughts of the person, unable to focus on anything else.
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Continuing the theme of losing control or sanity.
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiterating the ongoing sense of losing control or sanity related to the person.
Over you, Over you
Connecting the feeling to the specific person ("Over you").
I see you each morning
Observing the person daily.
But you just walk past me You don't even know that I exist
Expressing a sense of being unnoticed or ignored by the person.
Goin' out of my head over you
Intensifying the feeling of losing control specifically due to the person.
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Emphasizing the persistent state of being overwhelmed by thoughts of the person day and night.
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Highlighting the continuous nature of the emotional struggle ("Night and day and night, Wrong or right").
I must think of a way Into your heart
Expressing a desire to find a way into the person's heart.
There's no reason why My being shy Should keep us apart
Challenging the idea that shyness should be a barrier to a connection.
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiterating the sense of losing control, tying it to the person.
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Continuing the theme of losing control or sanity related to the person.
Goin' out of my head over you
Re-emphasizing the overwhelming feeling specifically over the person.
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Repeating the persistent state of being consumed by thoughts of the person.
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Reiterating the continuous nature of the emotional struggle ("Night and day and night, Wrong or right").
Night and day and night
Repeating the cycle of emotional turmoil day and night.
Wrong or right, day or night
Emphasizing that the emotional struggle persists regardless of circumstances ("Wrong or right, day or night").
Everyday, every, every day
Underlining the daily and persistent nature of the emotional turmoil.
