Lyrics
What does it matter to me that you've gone
Expressing indifference towards the departure of a person.
The memory's all in a dream
Recalling the past as if it's a distant and unreal experience.
And though it seems I ought to be
Suggesting that the speaker should move on from the heartache.
With a good night's yawn, the heartache is gone
Indicating that after a good night's rest, the pain has subsided.
Yes Indeed
Confirming the relief from heartache.
For lovin' you I have been such a fool
Acknowledging foolishness in love and a lack of understanding of the relationship.
Hardly knowin' the game or the rules
Expressing a lack of knowledge about the game of love and its rules.
Nothin' for me could I see except for your teasin'
Nothing was visible to the speaker except the teasing from the person.
I guess I was just dreamin'
Realizing that the speaker was living in a dream, holding onto unfulfilled promises.
Holdin' onto promises from you
Highlighting the disappointment of unkept promises.
What does it matter to me that you've gone
Repeating the sentiment of indifference towards the departure of the person.
The memory's all in a dream
Reiterating the idea that memories are now confined to a dream-like state.
And though it seems I ought to be
Emphasizing the need to move on despite the memories.
With a good night's yawn, the heartache is gone
Reaffirming that after a good night's rest, the heartache fades away.
Yes Indeed
Repeating the confirmation that the heartache is indeed gone.
Just In Case It Happens, you see
Introducing the concept of being prepared for potential future heartaches.
I have paid all my dues faithfully
Claiming to have fulfilled all obligations and responsibilities.
Now the peace of mind I feel inside is worth the misgivings
Stating that the inner peace is worth any doubts or reservations.
There's a new beginning clingin' in my head
Imagining a new beginning and thoughts lingering in the speaker's mind.
The rest of it's been said
Implying that the speaker has said everything necessary.
What does it matter to me that you've gone
Reiterating the speaker's indifference to the person's departure.
The memory's all in a dream
Restating that memories exist only in dreams.
And though it seems I ought to be
Echoing the idea that moving on is the right path.
With a good night's yawn, the heartache is gone
Affirming that after a good night's sleep, the pain is gone.
Yes Indeed
Reiterating the confirmation that the heartache is gone.
The heartache is gone
Repeating the assertion that the heartache has truly disappeared.
Yes Indeed
Concluding with a strong affirmation that the heartache is indeed gone.
