A Night Like This
Chasing Shadows: A Night of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Say goodbye on a night like this
Suggests bidding farewell during a particular evening.
If it's the last thing we ever do
Implying that parting ways might be the ultimate action.
You never looked as lost as this
Observation about the extreme level of disorientation or confusion in your appearance.
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
Expresses doubt about recognizing you due to your altered demeanor.
It goes dark
Suggests a transition into a darker or gloomier emotional state.
It goes darker still
Emphasizes a further descent into emotional darkness.
Please stay
An appeal or plea for you to stay.
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
Describes the feeling of being unresponsive or unmoved despite watching you leave.
As you walk away
Confirmation of you departing while the observer remains passive.
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Expresses determination to search for you persistently throughout the night.
A witch hunt for another girl
Refers to an intense pursuit, likened to a hunt, for someone else.
For always and ever is always for you
Indicates an enduring commitment that extends eternally to you.
Your trust
Highlights the importance of your trust.
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
Describes your trust as beautifully foolish in the observer's perception.
Say hello on a day like today
Proposes greeting on a specific day like today.
Say it every time you move
Encourages repeating the greeting every time you move.
The way that you look at me now
Expresses envy at the way you currently regard the observer.
Makes me wish I was you
Wishing to embody your qualities due to admiration.
It goes deep
Implies delving into deeper emotional territories.
It goes deeper still
Emphasizes a further plunge into profound emotional depths.
This touch
References physical contact, a smile, and a gesture of denial from you.
And the smile and the shake of your head
Reiterates the determination to search for you throughout the night.
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Expresses an inability to continue in the present manner.
Can't stand here like this anymore
Reaffirms everlasting commitment directed at you.
For always and ever is always for you
Expresses a desire for perfection, reminiscent of a past state.
I want it to be perfect
Expresses a wish to alter or modify everything.
Like before
Desires a complete overhaul of circumstances or situations.
I want to change it all
Emphasizes a strong desire for change.
I want to change
Reiterates a strong longing for change or transformation.
