Goin' Out of My Head
Love's Silent Struggle: Goin' Out of My Head
Lyrics
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Expressing a feeling of losing control or sanity
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiterating the sense of losing control or sanity
Over you, Over you
Emphasizing the cause of distress, which is a person ("you")
I want you to want me, I need you so badly
Expressing a strong desire for reciprocated affection
I can't think of anything but you
Indicating a preoccupation with thoughts of the person
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Repeating the theme of losing control due to intense emotions
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Affirming the continued sense of losing control or sanity
Over you, Over you
Reiterating the cause of distress, which is the person ("you")
I see you each morning
Observing the person regularly
But you just walk past me You don't even know that I exist
Expressing a feeling of being unnoticed or unacknowledged
Goin' out of my head over you
Summarizing the emotional state of extreme distress
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Intensifying the emotional state and its constant presence
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Highlighting the all-encompassing nature of the emotional turmoil
I must think of a way Into your heart
Expressing a desire to connect with the person emotionally
There's no reason why My being shy Should keep us apart
Addressing personal insecurities as a barrier to connection
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
Reiterating the theme of losing control or sanity
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Affirming the continued sense of losing control or sanity
Goin' out of my head over you
Repeating the emotional distress caused by the person
Out of my head over you Out of my head day and night
Emphasizing the constant presence of emotional turmoil
Night and day and night, Wrong or right
Reiterating the all-encompassing nature of the emotional struggle
Night and day and night
Emphasizing the continuous and persistent nature of the turmoil
Wrong or right, day or night
Highlighting the uncertainty and persistence of emotional distress
Everyday, every, every day
Concluding with the frequency and constancy of the emotional struggle
