At the End of the Day
Love's Awakening: A Journey of Emotions in Riley Knight's 'At the End of the Day'
Lyrics
At the end of the day, I wanna hear you say
Expressing a desire to hear affirming words from a partner at the end of the day.
To come and rest your tired eyes, I'll lay my head right by your side
Offering comfort and companionship by inviting the partner to rest together.
At the end of the road, I wanted you to know
Reflecting on a journey's end and wanting the partner to be aware.
That in the morning we'll be alright, so come and waste one more good night with me
Assuring that the morning will bring solace, inviting the partner to spend another night together.
Said there's a world that's been waiting for the day you wake up
Highlighting a world waiting for the partner to awaken and realize the unnecessary struggle in love.
To finally see there's no need to keep up this love
Encouraging the partner to recognize that there's no need to maintain a facade in love.
While you may find he won't mind letting all of it go
Implies someone else may not mind letting go of the complexities in love.
At least the version of things that you let him know
Acknowledging that the partner may only reveal a certain version of their feelings.
Get nervous for a while, at least enough to make you smile
Encouraging the partner to face and overcome nervousness, finding joy in the process.
Over something you can never hide, like the way you feel inside
Highlighting the inevitability of revealing true emotions that can't be concealed.
But you never could replace the look upon your face
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the partner's expression and the difficulty of replacing it.
As you drift away from him never to be seen again
Suggesting a separation from a past connection that won't be revisited.
You hit me with the boom, boom, stop
Referring to a significant emotional impact with the metaphor "boom, boom, stop."
It's coming straight from my heart, now the feeling can stop
Expressing that the intense feeling is sincere and continuous.
Can I get another boom, boom, stop
Requesting another intense emotional moment or contemplating letting go of the feeling.
Or should I just let it go, because I don't wanna know where this feeling will go
Questioning whether to continue with the intense emotions, expressing uncertainty about the future.
I could believe anything that you'd say to me
Conveying a willingness to believe anything the partner says.
You can't be looking for someone else, at least that's what I could tell myself
Addressing potential doubts about the partner's fidelity and self-deception in accepting their explanations.
'Cause when you kiss me I feel I could die inside
Describing the intensity of emotions experienced when being kissed by the partner.
You can't be taking me for a ride, I live my life like a passerby
Expressing a fear of being taken advantage of and living life with a detached attitude.
