Lyrics
Waiting for twilight to come
Anticipation for the evening to arrive
I open my eyes
Awareness, possibly after a period of closure
She's sitting there right next to me
A person, likely a significant other, is in close proximity
But I can't say I'm surprised
Expressing lack of surprise about the person's presence
Waiting for sunlight to crawl
Eagerly awaiting the morning sunlight
You whisper "my dear..."
Endearing whisper with a term of affection
Said I'll be gone by the morn'
Forewarning about departure in the morning
Won't you please bend my ear?
Request for attentive listening
I'm not even trying to but
Unintentional repetition of a certain behavior
I did it again
Acknowledging a recurring action or mistake
I reach for your hand and it's there
Confirmation of the accessibility of the person's hand
Won't you take me as I am?
Desire for acceptance without reservation
The world wasn't made for a pair
Reflection on challenges faced together in an incompatible world
We're one and the same
Identification of unity between the individuals
But visions of Babylon run so wild
Imaginations of chaos and disorder influencing thoughts
Through my brain
Mental disturbances caused by vivid images
Wishing for more
Desire for more experiences, possibly with a sense of fear
It fills me with dread
Anxiety or unease intensifying due to a wish for more
Sand in your hair
Sensory imagery of discomfort (sand in hair)
You dance through my head
The person occupies the thoughts intensely
I hope that you find them
Hope for the person to discover undesirable traits
Most impolite
Labeling a potential act as impolite
You call me selfish
Accusation of selfishness by the other person
And I call you right
Counter-accusation, asserting the correctness of actions
