Empty
Mitchel Musso Lyrics

I opened my eyes
Upon awakening from sleep, the singer becomes conscious of his surroundings.

I sat up in bed
Singer raises his upper body by sitting after seeing his surroundings.

I'm thinking about this life
Singer is contemplating about his existence.

And all those things you said
His thoughts are filled with reflections of past conversations and exchanges.

I know that I messed things up last night
The singer acknowledges his mistake the previous night.

I opened my door
The singer physically opens a door, possibly to signify a change or a new opportunity.

And see my surprise
The singer is caught off guard by what he sees after opening the door.

I could see so much love
The singer perceives affection towards him.

Mixed with fear in your eyes
The person displays emotions of both love and fear.

You said you'd been worried for me all night
The person expresses their anxiety for the singer.

And then you wrapped your arms so tight around my neck
The person embraces the singer tightly out of affection.

And then we ran to your car? you said
The singer and the person share a moment in which they are leaving together in a car.

Baby we ain't comin' back
The person reassures the singer that they won't return to their previous state of life, but rather start something new together.

I was alone her but you found the way to me
The singer was feeling lonely and lost, but the person came to their rescue and brought them back to a better state of mind.

It took me so long but I think I'm starting to see
It took the singer a long time, but he feels like he is beginning to understand his situation better.

That there's so much more to life? and this much I know is true
The singer discovers that life has more to offer than he previously thought, and he swears that it is a true realization.

That I'm empty here and all I want is you
Despite these ideas, the singer feels incomplete and yearns for the person.

Yeah! Cause I'm empty here and all I want is you
This is emphasized and repeated again, to highlight the primary theme of the song.

And when I was sick?
The singer was ill and helpless in a moment of need.

Strapped to my bed
The singer was either physically or metaphorically bound to his position.

All of these images were rushing through my head
The singer's thoughts are vivid and full of memories and thoughts.

All my thoughts filtered back to you
Even in his most vulnerable and weakened state, the singer thinks of the person he cares for.

'Cause you were the one who held my hand
The person provided comfort and support during troubled times.

Who picked me up when I was face down in the sand
The person helped the singer out of a desperate and difficult situation.

I think that I owe my life for you
The singer recognizes the debt they have with the person who helped them through their hardest times.

And made my spirit burn
The person has ignited a passion and a fulfilling emotion within the singer.

You gave me so much love
The singer acknowledges the affection and care given to him by the person.

Expecting nothing in return
The person's displays of love were pure and selfless.

How could I do anything
The singer feels unable to repay the immense help given to him by the person.

Before I grab a hold of you
The singer yearns to be close to the person.

To say
The singer wants to express something to the person.

Yeah??cause I'm empty here and all I want is you
This is repeated many times to emphasize the idea that despite other thoughts and emotions, the singer craves the companionship and love of the person.

Yeah??cause I'm empty here and all I want, all I want is you
Again, the singer reinforces the song's core message that the person is the only one that can fill the gap in his heart.
