Noises in the Night
Embracing Love's Whisper: Conquering Nocturnal Fears
Lyrics
When you’re laying home alone
Feeling alone while at home
Scared of noises in the night
Fearful of sounds during the night
Terrified of what just might be creeping shadows in the light
Terrified of potential threats represented by shadows
Keep me on your mind
Request to be remembered
I’ll show up just in time and put those noises in the night to bed
Promise to arrive in time to dispel fears
Ooh
Expressive vocalizations or emotions
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-When I’m staring at my phone
Concerned about the other person's location
Wondering if you’re still at home
Uncertainty about the person's presence at home
And my heart is beating fast
Rapid heartbeat, indicative of anxiety
While the brain is scared to ask
Hesitation or fear in asking a question
Everything you see that’s reminding you of me keeps reminding me I treated you bad
Reflecting on past mistakes and treating someone poorly
Ooh
Expressive vocalizations or emotions
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-When that tear fell down your eye and I licked it while you cried
Recalling a moment of intimacy and comfort
And I took you by the hand knowing this is not the end
Optimistic recognition that it's not the end of the relationship
Noises in the night show up trying to frighten us tighten the sheets and go to bed
Confronting fears together and seeking solace in bed
Ooh
Expressive vocalizations or emotions
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-When you’re laying home alone
Repetition of the initial scenario
Scared of noises in the night
Reiteration of fear of night noises
Terrified of what just might be creeping shadows in the light
Reaffirmation of fear from shadows
Keep me on your mind
Encouraging the other person to think about the singer
I’ll show up just in time and put those noises in the night to bed
Reassurance that the singer will arrive to dispel fears
