Lyrics

Tonight there's wind

Tonight, there's a sense of movement or change.

Tonight there's rain

There's rain tonight, possibly reflecting a somber or melancholic atmosphere.

Tonight I sleep with myself again

The singer is alone tonight, sleeping in solitude.

I punch the pillow into a mound

Expressing frustration, physically altering the pillow as an outlet for emotions.

With this frustration that I have found

The frustration the singer is feeling becomes more apparent.

Today I hoped

Reflecting on the day, possibly with a sense of optimism or expectation.

Today I heard

Receiving some information or news today.

There's still no contact

No communication or connection despite hoping for it.

Still no word

Still no information or message received.

I want to hear the front door slam

Expressing a desire for a dramatic return, possibly after an absence.

I want you back to hold my hand

Wishing for the return of a significant person to provide comfort and support.

Tonight there's hope you'll comfort me

Hoping that tonight brings emotional comfort.

All I can do is wait and see

Waiting with uncertainty to see if the hope will be realized.

But my eyes begin to close

Despite the anticipation, the singer's eyes are closing, indicating fatigue.

As footsteps softly creep

Soft footsteps approach, possibly symbolizing someone coming closer.

To find me sound asleep

The singer is already sound asleep as the footsteps reach them.


Tonight there's pain

There's pain present tonight, suggesting emotional distress.

Tonight there's fear

Feelings of fear are prominent tonight.

Tonight it's cold now you're not here

It's cold without the presence of someone dear.

The sound of tyres out in the wet

Imagining the sound of tires in the rain, a distant connection to the absent person.

That's as close to you as I can get

Expressing the emotional closeness achieved through imagination.

No turning handle on our front door

There's no practical way to open the door, emphasizing separation.

The more I hate you I want you more

Paradoxical feelings of hatred and desire for the absent person.
