Thinkin
Avant Lyrics

Da da da da da da
Repeating melody indicating a transition to a new verse

Baby, da da da da da da
Addressing a loved one with a sweet, affectionate term and repeating melody

You're my hopes, my dreams, my everything
Expressing the importance and all-encompassing nature of the loved one in the singer's life

You're my sweet babe
Reiterating affection and endearment for the loved one

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah
Repeating melody to emphasize emotional content

I wake up in a cold sweat (why?)
Describing the physical and emotional toll of longing for the loved one

Because I haven't seen you yet
Explaining the source of the singer's distress

I normally see you in my dreams (dreams)
Describing the only way the singer is able to be with the loved one

I thought I heard you speak
Suggesting the singer's intense desire to be with their loved one and potential delusions resulting from it

Waiting for the day to end
Describing the long and difficult process of waiting for the opportunity to possibly see the loved one

I'll be staring at your 8' by 10'
Describing how the singer relies on a photograph of the loved one for comfort

And as I lay me down to sleep (down to sleep)
Detailing the mental state of the singer as they attempt to cope with their longing for the loved one

It starts over again, yeah
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of the singer's emotional state and their longing for the loved one

Do you know I spend
Posing a rhetorical question to emphasize the amount of time spent thinking about the loved one

All day, all night (all day all night, all night all day)
Emphasizing the constant and obsessive nature of the singer's thoughts about the loved one

Thinkin' bout you, dreamin' bout you (dreamin' bout you babe)
Describing the nature of the singer's thoughts and dreams about the loved one

Do you know I spend most of my time (yeah)
Repeating the rhetorical question to emphasize the amount of time longing for the loved one

Wishin' for you
Stating the singer's intense desire to be with the loved one

Don't even know, who just, how much
Expressing how the singer's love for the loved one is incomprehensibly strong

That I'm feelin' you (I'm feelin' you baby)
Conveying the depth of emotion the singer feels for the loved one

Don't even know, who just, how much
Repeating the previous line to emphasize the strength of the singer's emotions

That I'm in love with you (I'm in love with you, oh oh oh)
Declaring the singer's love for the loved one

When I see you in the street (I)
Describing the impact of running into the loved one

I play it off real cool
Revealing the singer's attempt to hide their feelings for the loved one

But when I get all alone (I)
Conveying how the singer truly feels internally

I feel like the fool
Expressing how the singer's emotions are at odds with their attempts to keep them hidden

Remember in High School
Thinking back to a time when the singer was less guarded with their feelings for the loved one

Writing love notes (love notes)
Reflecting on a past attempt to express their feelings to the loved one

You know how the game go (check)
Acknowledging the challenge of pursuing a romantic relationship

If you want me, yes or no?
Asking the loved one to make a decision regarding a possible relationship

Stone play on
Introducing a new musical interlude

It sounds so good to me, yeah
Expressing the pleasure the singer takes in the music

Oh yeah
Emphatic response to the music

You feel how I feel, oh
Inviting the loved one to share in the singer's emotions

I'm so confused because
Acknowledging the singer's emotional state

She don't even notice me (don't even know )
Expressing the frustration of feeling invisible to the loved one

Or do she really notice me? (or do she)
Expressing the hope and confusion about the true feelings of the loved one

I got to see how she feels (my baby)
Describing the singer's desire to understand the loved one's feelings

Because baby, my love is real (love is real)
Reiterating the depth and sincerity of the singer's feelings for the loved one

Know I cant understand (know I cant do)
Expressing confusion and difficulty in processing the situation

The way I feel bout you babe (my lady)
Reiterating the depth of emotion the singer feels for the loved one

You're my inspiration (you're the one)
Acknowledging the positive impact the loved one has on the singer's life

And for you I'll never change it (my shinning star)
Reiterating the enduring nature of the singer's feelings for the loved one

Did you know
Posing a rhetorical question to express the amount of time spent thinking about the loved one

You're the only one I truly love
Affirming the unique and sincere feelings the singer has for the loved one

These words are from heaven above
Describing the depth of emotion as something supernatural and divine

Something is wrong
Expressing the negative impact of being apart from the loved one

Cuz your not with me in my home
Explaining the source of the singer's distress

If I had the chance
Hypothetically exploring the possibility of being with the loved one

I would make you my wife, saying
Expressing the desire to take the relationship to the next level
