Lyrics
Yeah, hm, yeah
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment.
Hm ah, hm ah
Continuation of expression or acknowledgment.
Hm, yeah, hm
Confirmation or agreement.
You're a beautiful nightmare, hm
Describing someone as both beautiful and nightmarish.
Hm ah, hm ah
Reiteration of acknowledgment or agreement.
Hm, yeah
Confirmation or agreement.
Before I go to sleep, I count my sheep
Before going to sleep, engaging in the practice of counting sheep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Praying for the protection of the soul during sleep.
Distractions from a heavy heart I feel it
Distractions used to cope with a heavy heart.
I think my soul needs some healing
Expressing a need for healing of the soul.
Beautiful nightmare baby
Addressing someone as a beautiful nightmare.
You're a beautiful nightmare lately
Repetition of the description of someone as a beautiful nightmare.
How can my heart feel ancient
Wondering about the age or maturity of the heart.
We've been growing separately like old friends
Noting a growing distance in a relationship, comparing it to old friendships.
Old friends you know, you know
Highlighting the inevitability of old friends growing old.
They grow old, they get so cold
Describing the coldness that comes with aging.
They love each other, but they can't relate so they separate
Explaining the separation despite mutual love in old friendships.
It's not sweet on this side, if you thought it was I guess you tried it
Contrasting the perceived sweetness with the actual pain on one side of the relationship.
It's pain that's deep inside if you knew me well, you would come find it
Revealing deep-seated pain hidden within.
Return of the Mack, it's not that I needed some time to relax
Reference to returning after a period of absence, possibly after a breakup.
I know sometimes I get distant
Acknowledging occasional emotional distance.
Know sometimes I go missing
Admitting to moments of being unreachable.
Who, who, yeah
Expression of uncertainty or questioning.
I'd be a fool, if I didn't recognize emotion
Acknowledging the need to recognize emotions.
A tool if I didn't throw you in the ocean
Considering emotions as a tool and contemplating discarding them.
Oh oh, can you mind my devotion
Seeking acknowledgment for emotional dedication.
Who knew, my heart was so big even when broken
Realization of the capacity for love even in a broken state.
Snap back into reality, huh
Returning to reality after a reflective moment.
All I ever wanted was piece of your heart
Expressing a desire for a share of someone's heart.
Beautiful nightmare baby
Reiteration of addressing someone as a beautiful nightmare.
You're a beautiful nightmare lately
Repetition of the description of someone as a beautiful nightmare.
How can my heart feel ancient
Repetition of wondering about the age or maturity of the heart.
We've been growing separately like old friends
Repetition of noting a growing distance in a relationship, comparing it to old friendships.
Yeah, hm, yeah
Reiteration of confirmation or agreement.
Hm, ah, hm, ah
Reiteration of acknowledgment or agreement.
Hm, yeah, hm
Repetition of confirmation or agreement.
