You Were Right
Eternal Longing: Unveiling the Emotions in Noel Montenegro's 'You Were Right'
Lyrics
I fell asleep last night
The speaker fell asleep the previous night.
Oh without the light
They fell asleep without a source of light.
I tried to count to ten
The speaker attempted to count to ten, likely to calm themselves, but thoughts of someone (presumably the person they're addressing) intervened.
But I thought of you instead
Instead of counting, the speaker found themselves thinking about the person mentioned earlier.
Do you know what it's like
The speaker questions if the listener understands the feeling of being in love with them.
To be in love with you
Describing the experience of being in love with the listener.
Wondering each day
Expressing the daily uncertainty about whether the listener reciprocates the speaker's feelings.
If you feel the same way too
Questioning if the listener feels the same way about the speaker.
Cause you were right
Acknowledgment that the listener was correct about something (potentially the depth of the speaker's emotions).
I miss you
The speaker admits missing the person they're addressing.
It's been quite some time
Commenting on the passage of a considerable amount of time since something significant happened involving the listener.
And you're still on my mind
The person is still occupying the speaker's thoughts despite the time that has passed.
Look in my eyes
Inviting the listener to look into the speaker's eyes for a possible connection or recognition.
Do they still look like mine
Questioning whether the listener sees similarities or remnants of their own feelings in the speaker's eyes.
Do you know what it's like

To be in love with you

Wondering each day
Continuing uncertainty about the listener's reciprocal feelings.
If you feel the same way too
Questioning if the listener shares the same feelings for the speaker.
Cause you were right

I miss you
Revealing the speaker's longing for the listener.
Ooooo
Expressing emotions through vocalization.
