Lyrics
Have you ever been alone in the night time
Reflecting on the experience of being alone during the night
And you're thinking that you just don't know
Expressing uncertainty or confusion
And that feeling grows
Describing the growth of a certain emotion or feeling
Without control
Emphasizing a lack of control over the mentioned feeling
And you're thinking about a place to go
Contemplating a destination or solution
But your body tells you
Internal conflict where the body advises against leaving
"Stay at home"
Reinforcing the idea of staying home
It's involuntary
Highlighting that the decision to stay is involuntary, not a conscious choice
And When the phone has lost it's bell
Describing the silence of a phone that is no longer ringing
And the doorbell has lost it's sound
Pointing out the absence of sound from the doorbell
You're only hearin' your heart pound
Noticing the intensified awareness of one's own heartbeat
It's involuntary
Reiterating that this heightened awareness is not a deliberate choice
And have you ever tried to leave at the right time
Discussing the attempt to leave at an opportune moment
But the right time seems to come so slow
Feeling that the right time is taking too long to arrive
And that feeling grows
Expressing the continued growth of the mentioned feeling
Without control
Reiterating the lack of control over the growing emotion
And you're thinking about a place to go
Considering an alternative destination despite the body's resistance
But your body tells you
Receiving a bodily signal to remain at home
"Stay at home"
Emphasizing the involuntary nature of the decision to stay
It's involuntary
Stressing that the choice to stay is not deliberate
And When the phone has lost it's bell
Revisiting the silence of the phone, now devoid of its bell sound
And the doorbell has lost it's sound
Reiterating the absence of sound from the doorbell
You're only hearin' your heart pound
Emphasizing the heightened awareness of one's heartbeat in silence
It's involuntary
Concluding that this heightened awareness is not a conscious choice
