Talking in Your Sleep
Secrets Unveiled in Midnight Whispers: Talking in Your Sleep by Martine McCutcheon
Lyrics
Three o'clock in the morning
Expressing the time, setting the scene at three o'clock in the morning.
And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night
Anticipating another night without sleep, possibly due to emotional distress.
I've been listenin' to your dreams and gettin' very low
Noticing a change in the partner's demeanor by listening to their dreams and feeling down.
Wondering what I can do
Reflecting on what actions can be taken to address the emotional distance.
Maybe I'm being foolish
Considering the possibility of being naive or impractical in the situation.
'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all
Not hearing the partner mention anyone, but still uncertain about their feelings.
How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on
Expressing a desire for confirmation that the speaker is the source of the partner's affection.
Each time you close your eyes

You used to love me
