Lonely Nights
Echoes of Longing: Saves the Day's Melody of Loneliness
Lyrics
I guess I wrote this song
The songwriter acknowledges writing this song.
To hear you sing it along
The songwriter desires to hear someone else sing this song.
Remember all those times
Recollection of joyful moments spent together, laughing until tears came.
Laughing so hard we would cry
Reflecting on times filled with laughter and tears.
So many lonely nights
Expression of experiencing numerous nights feeling alone.
So many lonely nights I hoped you'd call
Hope for a specific person to initiate contact during these lonely nights.
Stare at the wall
Describing a state of aimless contemplation or waiting.
Walking shadows crawl all along the floor
Imagery of dark, haunting figures moving on the floor.
I hoped you'd call
Reiteration of the desire for contact from the person in mind.
And that is all I can say in this song
The songwriter has reached the limit of what they can express in this song.
Time we would move it along
A wish to move forward from the current emotional state.
Remember all those days
Recollection of days spent gazing out of a window, perhaps lost in thoughts or waiting.
Staring through the window pane
Reflecting on moments spent staring through a windowpane.
So many lonely nights
Expression of enduring many nights filled with solitude.
So many lonely nights I hoped you'd call
Hope for a specific person to reach out during these lonely nights.
Stare at the wall
Continued description of aimless contemplation or waiting.
Walking shadows crawl all along the floor
Evocative description of haunting shadows moving along the floor.
I hoped you'd call
Reiteration of the desire for contact from the person in mind.
And that is all
Emphasizing the limited scope of expression within the song.
Is it really what I wanted to say
Questioning whether the songwriter is truly conveying their intended message.
Because I never even, continue to fall
Admitting to not fully understanding or continuing to fall deeper into a situation.
With the sand come on your face
Metaphorically referencing time passing by, akin to grains of sand.
Is it really what I wanted to say
Questioning the accuracy of the songwriter's expression of thoughts.
No I never even gave it a thought
Admission of not having considered a certain aspect deeply.
But I know we can stay the same
Belief in the possibility of maintaining a consistent relationship despite uncertainties.
Is it never what you wanted to be
Questioning if desires align with reality or personal aspirations.
Living in the same old dream
Living within repetitive or unchanging dreams or circumstances.
Well we know nothings as it seems
Asserting that things are often different from how they appear or are perceived.
Well we know nothings as it seems
Reiteration that reality might not match initial perceptions.
Well no ho ho oh
An exclamation or a musical expression rather than a distinct lyrical statement.
