Trace Of You
Chasing Shadows of Love: Midnight Dreams Unveiled
Lyrics
I watched you run
The speaker observes someone leaving.
To catch a trace of you
They try to hold onto any remnant or memory of that person.
I fall in love
The speaker falls in love with this person.
I hold my tongue
The speaker refrains from speaking to protect the other person.
To keep it safe for you
They keep their thoughts guarded for the safety of the person.
I read your mind
The speaker tries to understand the other person's thoughts.
I read your mind
Reiteration of attempting to understand the person's thoughts.
When midnight comes and finds me alone
The speaker feels lonely when it's late at night.
Like the tides you turn and the clouds you roll
Comparing the person's changes to natural elements like tides and clouds.
And I'm stuck in a dream that will not let me go
The speaker feels trapped in a persistent dream about this person.
I close my eyes to see the shape of you
The speaker visualizes the image or essence of the person with closed eyes.
Can you see mine?
Asks if the person can perceive the speaker's image or essence.
Can you see mine?
Reiteration of wondering if the person can sense the speaker's presence.
If you want a little more
Offering the person an opportunity for more in the relationship.
Take your chances at the door and I will wait for you
Suggests taking a risk to explore further, while the speaker waits.
I will be just fine
The speaker reassures that they will be okay regardless of the outcome.
I will be just fine
Reiteration of the speaker's confidence in coping.
When midnight comes and finds me alone
Similar sentiment as line 10: feeling alone at midnight.
Like the tides you turn and the clouds you roll
Repetition of comparing the person's changes to natural elements.
And I'm stuck in a dream that will not let me go
Continued feeling of being trapped in the persistent dream about the person.
That will not let me go
Emphasizes the feeling of being unable to break free from the dream.
That will not let me go
Reiteration of feeling trapped and unable to let go.
Will not let me go
Asserts the inability to escape from this dream or memory.
