Lyrics

There it goes again

Expressing a recurring experience or feeling

crawling up my bed post every night

Describing a sensation of something crawling on the bedpost at night

There it goes again

Reiterating the recurring nature of the experience

Showing me as face so full of eyes

Perceiving a face with many eyes in the experience


Say you will be mine

Requesting a commitment from someone to be in a relationship

Sing to me your greatest lullaby

Asking for a comforting and soothing song

To be nullified

Desiring to be invalidated or rendered null

Slide away i'm speechless every time

Feeling overwhelmed and speechless, possibly due to emotional intensity


say you will protect me

Seeking assurance and protection from someone

say you will protect me

-

a nervous reaction won't be wrong

Acknowledging a nervous reaction, suggesting vulnerability

cos we're a long time gone..

Emphasizing a long duration of being gone or separated


a nervous reaction won't be wrong

Reiterating the acknowledgment of a nervous reaction and the prolonged absence


There it goes again

Revisiting the crawling sensation, extending the metaphor

stringing out its bed for me to lie

Describing an extended bed, possibly symbolizing a prolonged situation

say a long goodbye

Suggesting a farewell that takes a long time

drift away on patience to define

Drifting away with patience to define the situation


Say you will be mine

Repetition of earlier lines, emphasizing a desire for comfort and speechlessness

Sing to me your greatest lullaby

-

To be nullified

-

Slide away i'm speechless every time

-

say you will protect me

Reiterating the need for protection, seeking reassurance

say you will protect me

-

a nervous reaction won't be wrong

Repetition of the acknowledgment of a nervous reaction and the prolonged absence

cos we're a long time gone..
