A Night Like This
Chasing Shadows: A Night of Longing and Regret
Lyrics
Say goodbye on a night like this
Saying farewell on a night with a solemn atmosphere
If it's the last thing we ever do
Expressing a determination to part ways, possibly under challenging circumstances
You never looked as lost as this
Noticing a sense of profound disorientation in the other person
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
Highlighting the drastic change in the person's appearance or demeanor
It goes dark
Describing a darkening of the situation or emotions
It goes darker still
Emphasizing a deepening of the darkness, possibly reflecting a worsening emotional state
Please stay
Pleading for the person to stay despite the difficult circumstances
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
Observing the person's departure with a seemingly impassive or stoic demeanor
As you walk away
Expressing the act of watching as the person walks away
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Committing to searching for the person throughout the night
A witch hunt for another girl
Describing the pursuit as a "witch hunt" for another romantic interest
For always and ever is always for you
Declaring enduring commitment and love, always directed towards the person
Your trust
Highlighting the significance of trust in the relationship
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
Describing an action or decision as foolish but beautiful in the speaker's eyes
Say hello on a day like today
Greeting the person on a day with a positive connotation
Say it everytime you move
Encouraging the repetition of greetings with every movement
The way that you look at me now
Expressing a desire to be in the other person's shoes due to their captivating gaze
Makes me wish I was you
Conveying a feeling of deep admiration or envy for the person
It goes deep
Describing a profound emotional depth in the situation
It goes deeper still
Emphasizing an even deeper emotional intensity
This touch
Referring to a physical touch as well as the accompanying expressions of happiness
And the smile and the shake of your head...
Describing the person's non-verbal communication through a smile and a head shake
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Reiterating the commitment to finding the person, despite potential challenges
Can't stand here like this anymore
Expressing discomfort with the current state of affairs
For always and ever is always for you
Reaffirming the everlasting nature of the speaker's love and commitment
I want it to be perfect
Expressing a desire for perfection, reminiscent of a past idealized state
Like before
Yearning for a return to a perfect state experienced before
I want to change it all
Expressing a desire for a complete transformation of the current situation
I want to change
Concluding with a straightforward declaration of a desire for change
