Thinking About You
Late-night Contemplations: Echoes of Longing in 'Thinking About You'
Lyrics
You call me up
You initiate contact with me.
You call in the middle of my night
You call me during the late hours of the night.
Wake up, wake up
A command to wake up, possibly addressing a shared experience.
You're singing by my bedside
You are singing near my bed.
Your voice is low
Your voice is quiet.
I hear a familiar tone
I recognize a familiar quality in your tone.
It's hard to know
Uncertainty about your intentions or emotions.
When you'll catch me alone
Uncertainty about when you'll find me alone.
You do my head in when my head in the clouds
Your actions or presence are affecting my thoughts.
I'm barely sleeping now I know you're around
Difficulty in sleeping due to awareness of your presence.
I've been thinking about you
Expressing the act of contemplating about you.
I've been thinking about you
Repetition emphasizes the ongoing thoughts about you.
I've been thinking about you
Continued contemplation about you.
I've been thinking about you
Emphasis on persistent thoughts about you.
Is that alright?
Seeking validation or approval for the continuous thoughts.
You know me well
You have understanding of who I am.
But I don't know you at all
I lack understanding of who you truly are.
I wake up, I wake up
A repetition of waking up, possibly with a negative emotional impact.
And I start to shit myself
Anxiety or nervousness leading to a distressing situation.
I try to speak but this is choking me up
Difficulty expressing oneself due to emotional turmoil.
I'm half asleep but I am getting you off
A struggle to balance sleep and thoughts of you.
I've been thinking about you
Reiteration of ongoing contemplation about you.
I've been thinking about you
Continued focus on thoughts about you.
I've been thinking about you
Persistence in thinking about you.
I've been thinking about you
Emphasizing the enduring nature of these thoughts.
Is that alright?
Seeking confirmation or acceptance for the constant contemplation.
