Lyrics
Another late night and I just wish you would call
Expressing a desire for a call during another late night.
Dead eyes burning into the wall
Feeling a sense of emptiness or numbness with eyes fixed on the wall.
I'm wide awake
Being fully awake, possibly due to emotional turmoil.
And it's harder and harder to breathe
Experiencing increased difficulty breathing, suggesting emotional distress.
With the thought of you closing in around me
Feeling overwhelmed by the presence or thoughts of someone.
Blind and in love you thought it was right
Reflecting on a past relationship where love was blind.
Oh it's easy to see, hard when you try it
Highlighting the ease of recognizing a situation but difficulty in experiencing it.
Oh whatever it was we couldn't deny
Acknowledging an unresolved past, possibly a breakup.
It comes time, to say goodbye
Recognizing the inevitability of saying goodbye.
Now we're moving on
Moving forward from the past relationship.
And we're letting go
Letting go of the emotional attachment.
You're good as gone
Describing the person as effectively gone from their life.
The bed is cold
Emphasizing the emotional distance, with a cold bed symbolizing loneliness.
And we're sleeping alone
Expressing the reality of sleeping alone.
I took a long drive to a place we used to meet
Revisiting a location significant to the relationship.
I think of you every mile a memory
Constantly thinking of the person while reminiscing.
But if I stop I may never wanna leave
Considering the possibility of not wanting to leave the memories behind.
Might be the only way that this lonely heart will beat
Suggesting that leaving the memories behind might be essential for healing.
Blind and in love we thought it was right
Reflecting on past blindness in love.
Oh it's easy to see, how hard we tried
Recognizing the difficulty and effort invested in the relationship.
whatever it was we couldn't deny
Reiterating the challenge of denying the past.
But it comes time, to say goodbye
Accepting the need to say goodbye despite past efforts.
Now we're moving on
Continuing the journey beyond the relationship.
And we're letting go
Emphasizing the act of releasing emotional ties.
You're good as gone
Confirming the person's departure from their life.
The bed is cold
Reiterating the sense of loneliness and a cold bed.
And we're sleeping alone
Restating the reality of sleeping alone.
Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping
Repetition emphasizing the act of sleeping.
Alone
Reiterating the state of being alone during sleep.
Sleeping alone
Repetition underscoring the theme of solitary sleep.
Sleeping alone
Continued emphasis on the experience of sleeping alone.
Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping
Repetition reinforcing the theme of solitude in sleep.
Now we're moving on
Recalling the decision to move on from the past.
And we're letting go
Reaffirming the process of letting go emotionally.
You're good as gone
Reiterating the finality of the person being gone.
The bed is cold
Repeating the image of a cold bed and sleeping alone.
And we're sleeping alone
Concluding the narrative with the reality of sleeping alone.
