Thinking Of You
★N Sync Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lying in your arms, so close together
Didn't know just what I had
Now I toss and turn'
'Cause I'm without you
How I'm missing you so bad
Where was my head? Where was my heart?
Now I cry alone in the dark
I lie awake, I drive myself crazy
Drive myself crazy thinking of you
Made a mistake when I let you go, baby
I drive myself crazy
Wanting you the way that I do (Wanting you the way that I do)
I was such a fool, I couldn't see it
Just how good you were to me (Just how good you were to me)
You confessed your love (You confessed your love)
Undying devotion
I confessed my need to be free
And now I'm left with all this pain
I've only got myself to blame
I lie awake, I drive myself crazy
Drive myself crazy thinking of you
Made a mistake when I let you go baby
I drive myself crazy
Wanting you the way that I do (Wanting you the way that I do)
Why didn't I know it (How much I loved you baby)
Why couldn't show it (If I had only told you)
When I had the chance
Oh, I had the chance, oh, la, la, la, la
I drive myself crazy', ah
Oh, so crazy, la, la, la, la, oh
I lie awake, I drive myself crazy
Drive myself crazy thinking of you
Made a mistake (made a mistake), let you go baby
I drive myself crazy
Wanting you the way that I do
I lie awake, I drive myself crazy (I drive myself crazy)
Drive myself crazy, crazy, crazy
Made a mistake, let you go baby
I drive myself crazy
Wanting you the way that I do
I drive myself crazy
Wanting you the way that I do

Lyrics:
Can this be true?
Tell me, can this be real?
How can I put into words what I feel?
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?
I never thought that love could feel like this
And you've changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be that right here with me
There's an angel?
It's a miracle
Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret
That I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must have spent
A little more time
On you
(A little more time, yes he did baby)
In all of creation, all things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than any diamond or pearl
They broke the mold when you came in this world
And I'm trying hard to figure out
Just how I ever did without
The warmth of your smile
The heart of a child
That's deep inside
Leaves me purified
Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret
That I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must have spent
A little more time
On you
Never thought that love could feel like this
And you've changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be that right here with me
There's an angel?
It's a miracle
Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret
That I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must have spent
A little more time
On you
God must have spent
A little more time, on you
(on you, on you, you, you, oh yeah)
A little more time
On you

I LOVE the direction they took with this music video. Rather than the typical lover relationship, they used a mother/son relationship. Truly meaningful
@barrymarcus4980
Isabella how do you feel when listening to this song?
@kevinkchao8
I'm pretty sure that's what the song is about, it doesn't really scream lovers to me regardless of the video.
