Sunsets
Yearning Dreams: Unspoken Words About Unrequited Love
Lyrics
Sun sets on another day
Sunset marks the end of another day.
And while the whole world falls asleep
While everyone else is asleep,
I lay wide awake in my bed
I am wide awake in bed,
Consistently reminded of dreams
Continually reminded of aspirations and desires.
Of impossible things with you
Dreams of things that seem unachievable with you.
I know it seems unlikely
Acknowledging the unlikelihood of these dreams.
For me to say the words I've always had inside my head
Expressing difficulty in vocalizing feelings kept inside.
But I'm sure it's twice as frightening
It's doubly frightening to express these feelings face to face as it could change everything.
To say them face to face 'cause then we'll never be the same again
The fear of irreversibly altering the relationship by confessing feelings.
And so I'll go, go again
Choosing to leave or distance oneself repeatedly.
Like I'm livin' life in the fast lane
Living life with a sense of speed or risk.
Windows down I'm feelin' insane
Feeling somewhat crazy or exhilarated, possibly due to strong emotions.
With your face
Constantly thinking about your presence.
On my brain
Having your image continuously on the mind.
'Cause you'll never know
You're unaware that your actions caused pain.
That it was you who put me through all this pain
Unable to confess the pain caused by the person.
'Cause I don't got the guts to say
Lacking the courage to admit the truth directly.
That it's you, you, you every time
It's always about you in my thoughts.
My friends all ask about
Friends inquire why I'm so preoccupied with thoughts of you.
Why my heads stuck up in the clouds
Lost in thoughts about you but too reserved to express.
And it's you, you, you but I'm shy
Choosing to remain at home instead of taking action due to shyness.
So I'll stay at home again
Staying indoors with writing materials.
With my paper and a pen
Observing sunsets alone while the world sleeps.
Watching sunsets on another day
Repetitive mention of being awake while others sleep.
And while the whole world falls asleep
Continuously reminded of unattainable dreams with you.
I lay wide awake in my bed
Acknowledgment of the truth behind the desire.
Consistently reminded of dreams
People talk about the potential compatibility, but the speaker is deeply invested in you.
Of impossible things with you
Fear of repercussions if feelings are expressed openly.
And I know it's true
Friends inquire about preoccupation with thoughts of you.
That people always talk about how good we'd be together
Feeling too deeply involved with you to risk rejection.
But I'm too into you
Concern about the unknown reaction if feelings are confessed.
And if I put myself out there there's just no telling what you would do
Always thinking about you.
'Cause it's you, you, you every time
Friends question the fixation on thoughts of you.
My friends all ask about
Caught in thoughts of you but unable to express due to shyness.
Why my heads stuck up in the clouds
Choosing to remain isolated due to hesitation.
And it's you, you, you but I'm shy
Staying at home with writing materials, continuously thinking about you.
So I'll stay at home again
Pursuing sunsets alone as the world sleeps.
With my paper and a pen
Repeated reference to being awake while others sleep.
Chasing sunsets on another day
Continuously reminded of unachievable dreams with you.
And while the whole world falls asleep
Repeating the pattern of being awake while the world sleeps.
I lay wide awake in my bed
Consistently reminded of desires and aspirations.
Consistently reminded of dreams
Recurring thoughts of unattainable dreams with you.
Of impossible things with you
Constantly thinking about seemingly impossible things with you.
