Lyrics

Close your eyes, fantasize

Encouraging someone to imagine or dream

Hope that one day you'll be back again

Wishing for a future reunion

You look surprised

Surprised by the presence of the singer

By the sight of me walking into your room

The singer enters the person's room

I don't know what I'm doing here

Uncertain of purpose or reason for being there

I don't know if I'll belong

Uncertain if they fit in or are accepted

But I hope that your not scared of me

Hopes the person isn't afraid or intimidated

That I don't come on too strong

Concerned about not being too forceful or overwhelming

I think I might just realize

Realization about personal identity

Who I am trying to be

Struggling to align with an expected persona

Is not the person that I am

Admitting the facade presented to the person

It's just someone you see

The persona projected for the person's perception

Morning comes, you are gone when the sun comes up

The person is absent in the morning

Teardrops fall from the ceiling but I'm still in love

Emotional distress despite love being present

Waiting for the evening to be in your arms

Longing for closeness and intimacy in the evening

I think I'll need to carry you

Desire to help or support the person

Out of here somehow

Wanting to change the situation or environment

Bring me back to life again

Desiring rejuvenation or revival

I need you here right now

Immediate need for the person's presence

I think I'll need to carry you

Reiteration of the desire to assist or rescue

Out of here somehow

Desire to change the current circumstances

Bring me back to life again

Expressing a need for revival or awakening

I need you here right now

Immediate necessity of the person being there

Morning comes, you are gone when the sun comes up

Repetition of the absence of the person in the morning

Teardrops fall from the ceiling but I'm still in love

Continued emotional pain despite love

Waiting for the evening to be in your arms

Anticipation and longing for nighttime intimacy

That's why I'd rather be asleep

Preference for being unconscious or avoiding reality

That's why I'd rather be asleep

Reiteration of the preference for unconsciousness
