Another Sleepless Night
Eternal Longing: Mike Broussard's Another Sleepless Night
Lyrics
Another sleepless night,
Expressing the experience of yet another night without sleep.
I sit alone and cry,
Feeling isolated and shedding tears while being alone.
Twilight time 'til dawn,
Referencing the time from twilight until dawn, suggesting the passage of a night.
Memories linger on,
Recounting that memories persist and linger despite the passage of time.
Since we said goodbye.
Reflecting on the separation and farewell that occurred.
Throughout that sleepless night,
Emphasizing the continuation of sleeplessness.
No matter what I do,
Expressing the persistent nature of thoughts despite attempts to distract or occupy the mind.
You're always on my mind,
Acknowledging that thoughts are dominated by the absent person.
And though you're gone I find,
Despite the departure of the person, the speaker admits to still being in love.
I'm still in love with you.
Reaffirming the enduring love for the departed person.
Shadows fall, and I recall,
Referring to the falling shadows as a cue for reminiscing about past love.
The love that you once had for me.
Recalling the love that was once shared.
Miss you so, when lights are low,
Expressing the longing for the absent person when the lights are dim.
I think of things that use to be.
Thinking about the things that were part of the past but are no longer present.
You're always in my heart,
Despite physical absence, the person remains in the speaker's heart.
Although you're out of sight,
Acknowledging the separation in a literal sense.
Lonely teardrops burn,
Describing the emotional pain through the metaphor of lonely teardrops burning.
As I toss and turn,
Expressing restlessness and emotional turmoil during the night.
Another sleepless night.
Reiterating the difficulty of facing another night without sleep.
Although you're out of sight,
Repeating the acknowledgment of the physical absence of the person.
Lonely teardrops burn,
Reiterating the metaphor of lonely teardrops burning, emphasizing the emotional pain.
As I toss and turn,
Describing the physical and emotional unrest through tossing and turning.
Another sleepless night.
Emphasizing the enduring difficulty of facing yet another sleepless night.
