Goin' out of My Head
Love's Silent Struggle: Goin' Out of My Head
Lyrics
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Expressing a feeling of losing control or sanity
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiterating the sense of losing control or sanity
Over you, Over you
Attributing the distress to someone specific
I want you to want me, I need you so badly
Desiring reciprocated feelings, emphasizing need
I can't think of anything but you
Intense focus on the person, dominating thoughts
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Repetition of the overwhelming feeling
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiteration of the overwhelming feeling
Over you, Over you
Reaffirming the impact of the specific person
I see you each morning
Observing the person daily
But you just walk past me You don't even know that I exist
Feeling unnoticed or unacknowledged by the person
Goin' out of my head over you
Intensifying the emotional impact of the situation
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Continued emotional distress day and night
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Emphasizing the constant struggle, regardless of circumstances
I must think of a way Into your heart
Expressing a desire to connect emotionally
There's no reason why My being shy Should keep us apart
Recognizing shyness as a barrier to connection
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiterating the overwhelming feeling
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
-Goin' out of my head over you
Intensifying emotional distress over the specific person
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Continued emotional distress day and night
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Repetition of the constant emotional struggle
Night and day and night
Emphasizing the persistent nature of emotions
Wrong or right, day or night
Reinforcing the idea that emotions persist at all times
Everyday, every, every day
Stating the frequency of emotional distress
