Games Night
Yearning in the Night
Lyrics
We're both playing games
We're both engaging in playful activities or deceptive behaviors.
Staring down the field to take your aim at me
Intently focusing on the situation, ready to confront or challenge each other.
Won't you make a change
An appeal for the other person to make a positive change.
Hoping that you're not about to change your mind
Hoping that the other person won't reconsider or change their decision.
Middle of the night I've lost all my friends
Feeling alone and isolated in the middle of the night, having lost friends.
Left them just to find you instead
Abandoning friends in the pursuit of a connection with the person addressed.
Sitting in my bed the next day
Reflecting on the previous night while sitting in bed the next day.
Thinkin' 'bout all the things that I should have said
Regretting missed opportunities and unsaid things.
I just wanna hold your hand with all of our friends around
Expressing a desire to be close to the person, even in a social setting.
I just wanna dance with you wearing sunglasses in the crowd
Yearning to dance with the person, creating a memorable moment in a crowd.
Oh oh oh oh
Repetitive refrain, possibly emphasizing a strong emotional desire.
Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-Tell me what you want
Requesting open communication about desires or intentions.
Tell me that there's nothing left to hold you back
Asking for assurance that nothing is holding the person back.
I can't face again
Expressing an inability to face certain things again.
All the things that make me wonder what I lack
Wondering about personal shortcomings or what is lacking in the relationship.
Middle of the night I've lost all my friends
Reiteration of feelings of loneliness and regret, reflecting on the past night.
Left them just to find you instead
-Sitting in my bed the next day
-Thinkin' 'bout all the things that I should have said
-I just wanna hold your hand with all of our friends around
Expressing a desire for physical closeness in a social setting.
I just wanna dance with you wearing sunglasses in the crowd
Expressing a desire to share a carefree moment like dancing in a crowd.
Oh oh oh oh
Repetition of the refrain, reinforcing intense emotions.
Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-Middle of the night I've lost all my friends
Continuation of the theme of loneliness, regret, and reflection.
Left them just to find you instead
-Sitting in my bed the next day
-Thinkin' 'bout all the things that I should have said
-I just wanna hold your hand with all of our friends around
Reiterating a desire for physical closeness even in a social context.
I just wanna dance with you wearing sunglasses in the crowd
Repeating the desire to share a memorable moment in a crowd.
Oh oh oh oh
Final repetition of the refrain, possibly emphasizing the persistence of emotions.
Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
