About This Song:
[Lyrics]
I sound so casual tonight
When I say I'm alone for another night
It gets to be depressing
But it's something that I'm used to.
I'm with someone again for another ride
Got a feeling it'll only be for the night
When I wake up tomorrow
She won't be there beside me
And I've said it all a hundred times
By now I should just realize
That things are only what they seem
The love I yearn for is in my dreams
Getting tired of living for just one night
I wish love would reflect back from someone's eyes
So that I wouldn't be so afraid to wake and
Realize that I've made another mistake
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
In any case I have to choose
The night? The year?
To face my fear
I want so much
For it all to be clear
And when the sun rises again
Will I still hold a broken heart in my hands
When I offer mine to you tonight
Will the story turn out different this time?
And I've said it all a hundred times
By now I should just realize
That things are only what they seem
The love I yearn for is in my dreams
So when I live again tonight
Will love reflect back from your eyes?
And should I be afraid to wake?
And am I making a mistake?
The Longing
The protagonist feels completely alone despite having company of the usual variety. These are the questions in the back of their mind as the night goes on that they attempt to ignore, but ultimately can't.
