I lay down for bed here

Nicky found Jesus
Mentioning someone named Nicky finding faith in Jesus.
But I don't believe him

He says all the right things
Noting that Nicky speaks convincingly but lacks genuine meaning.
But he lacks all the meaning
Highlighting a perceived insincerity or emptiness in Nicky's words.
You might not believe it
Addressing potential disbelief from the listener.
But listen to me 'lin
Asserting the speaker's sincerity and the enduring nature of their love.
I loved you today and I'll love you this evening
Reiterating the expression of love, emphasizing its continuity.
Right when the time is right for your liking
Suggesting the timing of love is aligned with the individual's preferences.
To trust in your knight, I'll bow down to your highness
Expressing loyalty and submission to a beloved person of high status.
Everything else doesn't matter to me when you're all I can think about
Stating that nothing else matters when the beloved is the primary focus of thoughts.
Heavenly Father I don't ask for much but I swear I'll do anything
Addressing a higher power, expressing a willingness to do anything.
I just can't be her healer alone
Acknowledging the inability to be the sole source of healing for someone.
From August the Genesis
Referring to a specific time or event (August) and its consequences.
And all things that came of it

I'd thought by now

We fell in love in October
Recalling the beginning of a romantic relationship in October.
Thought the distance would blow it over

I think you're changing me
Suggesting a transformative effect on the speaker by the person being addressed.
From what I saw raise me

But oh how it pains me

As I fall to my poor design

Heavenly Father she's trying her best

Would you lend her a hand tonight

Cause she can't be my healer alone
