Dream Myself Awake
Yearning for Love: Dreaming Awake Amidst Heartache
Lyrics
I've been waiting
I've been eagerly anticipating something.
I've been aching
I've been longing or yearning for something.
Now you're fading out of reach
Now, that something is slipping away or becoming distant.
I was angry
I was angry in the past.
Now I'm sorry
Now, I feel remorseful or apologetic.
Have mercy over me
Plead for compassion or forgiveness.
Because a life without love would only be a living hell
Emphasizing the undesirable nature of a life devoid of love.
I don't wanna be alone and I don't want no one else
Expressing a desire not to be alone and not to have anyone else.
So I dream myself awake
The act of creating a dream-like state while being awake.
And I tear myself to pieces
Feeling emotionally torn apart or devastated.
I've had more than I can take
Having experienced more than one can endure.
But I just don't see me leaving
Despite challenges, unwillingness to abandon the situation.
Do me wrong
Committing an offense against me.
Do me right
Treating me correctly or fairly.
Do me anyway you want tonight
Allowing any form of interaction tonight.
I can't get enough of you baby
Expressing an insatiable desire for a particular person.
I can't get enough of you baby
Reiteration of an intense craving for the person.
I remember back when we were babies
Recalling a time of youthful enthusiasm and passion.
Young crazies
Describing the period when they were young and wild.
And you made my soul complete
Attributing completeness of the soul to the other person.
Yeah you saved me
Acknowledging a past salvation by the person.
Now you hate me
Presently, the person harbors hatred towards me.
And our love won't doubt on me
Expressing uncertainty about the continuation of love.
Because life without love is gonna be a living hell
Reiterating the undesirable nature of a loveless life.
I don't wanna be alone and I don't want no one else
Reiterating the desire not to be alone and without anyone else.
So I dream myself awake
Repeating the act of creating a dream-like state while awake.
And I tear myself to pieces
Repeating the feeling of being emotionally torn apart.
I've had more than I can take
Repeating the experience of enduring more than one can bear.
But I just don't see me leaving
Reiterating the reluctance to leave despite challenges.
Do me wrong
Permission or willingness to be mistreated.
Do me right
Requesting fair or correct treatment.
Do me anyway you want tonight
Allowing any form of interaction tonight.
I can't get enough of you baby
Expressing an insatiable desire for a particular person.
I can't get enough of you baby
Reiteration of an intense craving for the person.
I can't get enough of you
Expressing an insatiable desire for the person.
I can't get enough of you
Reiteration of an intense craving for the person.
I can't get you out of my mind
The person is persistently on the mind.
So I dream myself awake
Repeating the act of creating a dream-like state while awake.
And I tear myself to pieces
Repeating the feeling of being emotionally torn apart.
I've had more than I can take
Repeating the experience of enduring more than one can bear.
But I just don't see me leaving
Reiterating the reluctance to leave despite challenges.
Do me wrong
Permission or willingness to be mistreated.
Do me right
Requesting fair or correct treatment.
Do me anyway you want tonight
Allowing any form of interaction tonight.
Any way you want tonight
Emphasizing flexibility in the desired interaction tonight.
I can't get enough of you baby [Repeat: x4]
Reiteration of an intense craving for the person.
