Lyrics
My heart was talking to my head
Internal conflict between emotions and reason; heart expressing a reluctance to love again.
Said "I've loved once. I'll never love again."
Declaration of not wanting to experience love again after a past relationship.
And my head at this replied,
Head responds, acknowledging the difficulty of moving on and expressing a physical attraction.
"I'll miss her too. She was easy on the eyes."
Head admits missing the person, highlighting her physical attractiveness.
And now all they do is look around for you
Continued search for the person, suggesting a longing or emotional attachment.
And every night with their lids closed tight
Description of a nightly routine where emotions are explored in dreams.
They're lost in dreams, but they'll awake and see

You lying next to me.
Desire for the person to be physically present when waking up.
My feet could feel it in their soles

We've gone too far, and we'll never make it home.

And these hands, they felt the same
Hands expressing regret for letting the person slip away despite once holding them.

And now all I do is look around for you

I'm lost in dreams, but I'll awake and see
Anticipation of waking up and finding the person next to the dreamer.
You lying next to me.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's how easy the tables turn.
Reflection on the unpredictable nature of relationships and the possibility of roles reversing.
And if there's one thing I know, it's the fine art of letting go.
Acknowledgment of the ability to let go as an art form, implying personal growth.
My heart was talking to my head

And now all I do is look around for you

I'm lost in dreams but I'll awake and see
