Empty Without You
Emptiness in Love: A Song of Yearning
Lyrics
Empty Without You
Expressing a sense of emptiness in the absence of someone important.
As I lay here
Describing the speaker's current state of being.
And I watch you getting dressed
Observing the person dressing, possibly a significant other.
I will stay here
Committing to staying in the current state or location.
My heart still pounding from my chest I will wait here
Feeling intense emotions as the person leaves, heart pounding.
Drifting off into this high
Entering a contemplative or reflective state.
Have a nice day dear
Receiving a farewell wish with affection.
She says kissing me goodbye
Experiencing a goodbye kiss, implying a romantic relationship.
It’s been a long night
Acknowledging that the night has been lengthy.
But it’s always too brief
Expressing dissatisfaction with the brevity of the time spent together.
I’m done with sunlight
Rejecting sunlight as it signifies the departure of the loved one.
Cause it’s what makes you leave
Identifying sunlight as the cause of separation.
A love so new
Describing the love as new and impactful.
It makes the day feel empty without you
Expressing how the love intensifies the feeling of emptiness during the day.
I will get up
Deciding to get up, possibly to take action.
Cause there’s one thing one thing to do I will sit down
Acknowledging a specific task to be done—writing a song.
And write another song for you
Linking songwriting to expressing feelings for the person.
How amazing
Reflecting on the incredible impact the person has on the speaker's creativity.
That it’s what you make me do
Highlighting the inspiration to create as a result of the person's influence.
I’ll be waiting
Waiting for another encounter or moment with the loved one.
Holding out for another
Anticipating another extended period of closeness.
Long night
Repeating the theme of a long night and its brevity.
But it’s always too brief
Reiterating the aversion to sunlight due to its association with separation.
I’m done with sunlight
Confirming sunlight as the reason for the departure.
Cause it’s what makes you leave
Reiterating the impact of new love on the day's emptiness.
A love so new
Emphasizing the profound effect of the new love.
It makes the day feel empty without you
Repeating the idea that the day feels empty without the loved one.
It’s been a long night
Recalling the lengthiness of the night.
But it’s always too brief
Highlighting the perpetual brevity of the time spent together.
I’m done with sunlight
Rejecting sunlight once again as the cause of departure.
Cause it’s what makes you leave
Affirming sunlight as the factor that leads to separation.
It’s been a long night
Reiterating the idea of a long night.
But it’s always too brief
Stressing the consistent brevity of the night.
I’m done with sunlight
Declining sunlight as it signifies the end of togetherness.
Cause it’s what makes you leave
Reaffirming sunlight as the reason for departure.
A love so new
Repeating the impact of new love on the day's emptiness.
It makes the day feel empty without you
Emphasizing the enduring sense of emptiness without the loved one.
