Lyrics
Wake with the sun
Waking up with the sun, starting a new day.
What's going on, when you're gone
Uncertainty or confusion when the person is not present.
Fall asleep when you're near
Falling asleep comfortably when the person is nearby.
What's going on, when you're here
Questioning the situation when the person is present.
And sometimes I think if I stand by the phone it may ring
Hoping for communication by the phone, anticipating a call.
And sometimes I worry and fear what tomorrow may bring
Feeling anxiety about the uncertainties of the future.
And you sing
Emphasizing the importance of the person singing.
And you sing
-Breathe with your sigh
Feeling a sense of euphoria when hearing the person's sigh.
Makes me high, don't know why
Expressing the inexplicable joy caused by the sigh.
Touching your skin
Physical closeness and the desire for more intimacy.
Wishing you were within
Longing for the person to be closer.
Your eyes are like saucers but mine are just clouded in gray
Comparing the eyes, expressing one's obscured emotions.
I've so much to tell but I can't and you just go away
Desire to share but inability to communicate, and the person leaving.
Anyway
Regardless of difficulties, expressing a desire for the person to stay.
Won't you stay
A direct plea for the person to remain.
Wake with the sun
Starting another day with the sunrise.
What's going on, when you're gone
Similar to line 2, expressing uncertainty or confusion when the person is not present.
And when I lost control
Loss of control in a situation, feeling cold and aged.
I was cold, and I felt old
Describing emotional vulnerability and discomfort.
The ground is beneath me but slowly it's falling away
Feeling the ground beneath, but a sense of losing stability.
You say we're like children so why won't you come out and play?
Comparing the relationship to children playing, questioning why the person is distant.
And sometimes I think if I look at the phone it may ring
Similar to line 6, hoping for communication through the phone.
And sometimes I worry and fear what tomorrow may bring
Repeating anxiety about the uncertainties of the future, echoing line 7.
When you sing
Reiterating the significance of the person's singing in the speaker's life.
When you sing
