Goin' Out of My Head
Love's Silent Struggle: Goin' Out of My Head
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
Reiterating the sense of losing composure
Over you, over you
Attributing the emotional turmoil to a specific person
I want you to want me, I need you so badly
Desiring reciprocation and expressing a strong need for the person
I can't think of anything but you
Being consumed by thoughts of the person
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Repeating the theme of losing mental stability
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Emphasizing the intensity of the emotional struggle
Over you, Over you
Linking the emotional turmoil to the specific person
I see you each morning
Observing the person regularly
But you just walk past me
Feeling ignored or unnoticed by the person
You don't even know that I exist
Expressing a sense of invisibility to the person
Goin' out of my head over you
Reiterating the overwhelming impact of emotions
Out of my head over you
Continuing to emphasize the emotional impact
Out of my head day and night
Describing the persistent nature of the emotional struggle
Night and day and night,
Highlighting the continuous nature of the emotional turmoil
Wrong or right
Indicating uncertainty about the correctness of feelings
I must think of a way
Expressing a determination to find a way into the person's heart
Into your heart
Desiring a deeper connection with the person
There's no reason why
Rejecting the idea that shyness should be a barrier
My being shy
Challenging any reasons for staying apart
Should keep us apart
Expressing a growing desperation to be with the person
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Repeating the theme of losing mental stability
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Emphasizing the intensity of the emotional struggle
Goin' out of my head over you
Reiterating the overwhelming impact of emotions
Out of my head over you
Continuing to emphasize the emotional impact
Out of my head day and night
Describing the persistent nature of the emotional struggle
Night and day and night,
Highlighting the continuous nature of the emotional turmoil
Wrong or right
Indicating uncertainty about the correctness of feelings
Night and day and night
Repeating the continuous nature of the emotional struggle
Wrong or right, day or night
Expressing uncertainty about the timing of feelings
Everyday, every, every day
Emphasizing the persistence of emotions every day
