Afternoon Daydream
Yearning Echoes: Love's Afternoon Daydream by Ultra Velvet
Lyrics
I woke up that morning and saw i the text
The speaker woke up and read a text message
Of you telling me i was your ex
The text reveals that the speaker is now an ex
And now you only tell me that you love me
The person now expresses love only in daydreams
In an afternoon daydream baby
Love is only expressed in afternoon daydreams
The next morning weirdly i felt glad
Despite the breakup, the speaker feels a strange happiness
I was finally free from your grasp
The speaker feels liberated from the ex's influence
But i remember sitting on the grass
Recalls a past moment of sitting on the grass holding hands
Holding your hand in mine
The speaker reminisces about physical connection with the ex
All those feelings coming back
Rekindled emotions from the past relationship
I want it one more time
Expresses a desire to experience those feelings again
And now you only tell me that you love me
Love is now only expressed in daydreams
In an afternoon daydream baby
Reiterates that love is confined to afternoon daydreams
And now you only tell me that you love me
Repeats the theme of love only existing in daydreams
In an afternoon daydream baby
Emphasizes that love is limited to afternoon daydreams
You don't know what its like
Describes the difficulty of unrequited love
To love someone who doesn't love you back
Expresses the pain of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate
You don't want it all
Desire is not for everything but specifically for the ex
You just want her
Clarifies the specific focus on wanting the ex
I woke up that morning and saw i the text
Repetition of waking up to a breakup text
Of you telling me i was your ex
Reiteration of being informed about the end of the relationship
And every single day ever since you left
Reflects on the daily struggle since the breakup
Just been laying in my bed
Describes spending time in bed, possibly due to heartbreak
Lately been feelin depressed
Admits to recent feelings of depression
Keep all my feeling repressed
Mentions suppressing emotions and keeping them hidden
Keep my emotions in check
Highlights the speaker's effort to control emotions
But it aint workin
Despite efforts, emotional control is not effective
Im still hurtin
Expresses continued emotional pain and suffering
And now you only tell me that you love me
Love is now confined to daydreams
In an afternoon daydream baby
Reiterates that love is limited to afternoon daydreams
And now you only tell me that you love me
Emphasizes the exclusivity of love in daydreams
In an afternoon daydream baby
Repeats the idea that love is restricted to afternoon daydreams
You don't know what its like
Reiterates the challenge of unreciprocated love
To love someone who doesn't love you back
Expresses the pain of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate
You don't want it all
Desire is not for everything but specifically for the ex
You just want her
Clarifies the specific focus on wanting the ex
