Lyrics
Life's asleep but I'm awake
Expresses the contrast between the speaker's wakefulness and the dormant state of life.
I keep looking at the door
The speaker is eagerly anticipating someone's arrival and is focused on the door.
The clock ticks it hits me in the head
The ticking clock serves as a reminder, possibly of time passing and the impact of change.
Things have changed since you were here before
Highlights the transformation in circumstances since the person was last present.
The sun goes up and the sun goes down
Describes the cyclical nature of days, emphasizing the inevitability of the sunrise and sunset.
And I know that you won't come again
Conveys the speaker's certainty that the person won't return.
But heart beats and I am sure
Despite the perceived finality, the speaker's heart continues to beat.
It beats for to see you once more
The speaker's heart beats with the desire to see the person again.
It beats for to see you once more
Reiterates the heartbeat's longing for another encounter.
Funny things I tell myself
The speaker engages in self-deception, creating false scenarios of the person's return.
I tell myself that you will come to me
The speaker persists in convincing themselves that the person will come back.
Then I cry because I know it is a lie
An acknowledgment that the hopeful thoughts are untrue, leading to emotional pain.
Good thing no one can hear me
The speaker finds solace in the privacy of their emotions, away from external judgment.
I sleep, I dream the same each day
Describes a repetitive dream where the speaker sees the person again.
The door opens and I see you
In the dream, the door opens, and the speaker is reunited with the person.
Then I wake and I cry some more
Reality strikes when the speaker wakes up, leading to renewed sorrow.
I thought of my dream to be true
Reflects on the disappointment of the dream not materializing in reality.
Why can't my dreams come true?
Expresses the speaker's yearning for dreams to turn into reality.
Life's asleep but I'm awake
Repetition of the opening lines, emphasizing the persistence of the speaker's emotions.
And I keep looking at the door
Continued anticipation and focus on the door despite life's dormant state.
The clock ticks it hits me in the head
Reiteration of the impact of time passing and change since the person's previous presence.
Things have changed since you were here before
Reaffirms the transformation in circumstances since the person's absence.
The sun goes up and the sun goes down
Repeats the cyclic nature of days and the inevitability of the sun's movements.
And I know that you won't come again
Restates the speaker's certainty about the person not returning.
But heart breaks and I am sure
Shifts from the heartbeat's hopeful beats to the breaking of the heart.
It breaks for to see you once more
The heart breaks, emphasizing the emotional pain of desiring another meeting.
It breaks for to see you once more
Reiterates the heartbreak's longing for another encounter, mirroring the earlier lines.
