Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm losing sleep
I'm losing sleep
Nervous, I'm around these lonely eyes, that's leaving me filled with fear
I'm losing sleep
I'm losing sleep
And I know what it's like
Please don't stop loving me, loving me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Wanting me, wanting me like you do
Please don't stop caring now, caring now
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Caring now, caring now like you do
I know you have to work out there, it's for the best, but can't you see?
I'm losing sleep
I'm losing sleep
Remember telling you to go, you've always done what's good for me
I'm losing sleep
I'm losing sleep
And I know what it's like
To be a child scared, so scared of the night
Please don't stop loving me, loving me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Wanting me, wanting me like you do
Please don't stop caring now, caring now
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Caring now, caring now like you do
Running from the dark but I just can't hide
Dreading sundown, yeah I'm dreading the night
Need you back here 'cause it feels so wrong yeah
Oh please don't stop loving me, loving me
No no oh no no no no no
Loving me, loving me
Darling no oh oh
Please don't stop caring now, caring now
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Caring now, caring now
Please don't stop loving me, loving me
No oh oh
Wanting me, wanting me like you do
It's three AM, I'm calling in to tell you that without you here
I'm losing sleep
I'm losing sleep
The song "Losing Sleep" by Newman feat. John is a heart-wrenching ballad that speaks about the feeling of being scared and fearful when you are alone, particularly at night time. It starts with the singer calling someone at three in the morning to admit that they cannot sleep without them. The lyrics are raw and straightforward, portraying how vulnerable the character is feeling. He admits that being alone is taking a toll on his emotional and psychological well-being because he is starting to lose sleep. Even though his partner is away for work, he is requesting them to come back because it feels all wrong.
The lyrics continue by the singer acknowledging that he knows how it feels to be scared of the dark because he had felt that way as a child - this adds a sense of innocent vulnerability to the ballad. He implores his partner not to stop loving or caring for him, to keep wanting him and being there for him. The song ends with the singer still, still experiencing the same emotions that led him to admit his fears at three in the morning.
In summary, "Losing Sleep" is a beautiful, melancholic song that talks about the fear and vulnerability caused by loneliness, particularly at night time. The lyrics are simple yet effective in conveying the message of how the singer is struggling without his partner's love and presence.
